Tofu bhurji or scrambled tofu is one of the best nutritious dishes, which can be made in a jiffy and tastes great. Tofu or bean curd is a food made from coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. Tofu is rich in protein, calcium, low in calories and a vegan substitute for paneer. It also provides fats, carbs, and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. Those with lactose intolerance can add tofu to their daily diets to meet the calcium and protein needs.

Tofu can be added to diet in various ways.  Even though Tofu ‘s taste is bland it becomes extraordinarily tasty after absorbing the seasonings. Our Tofu bhurji or scrambled tofu can be paired with chapati, paratha or bread and served for lunch, brunch or in lunch box. I have served it with multi grain bread to make the meal wholesome.
