Tofu or soybean curd is originally from china .It is staple in many Asian cuisines same as paneer in india.
Known for its zero cholesterol it became my twice a month must after coming to US.You can replace it with paneer in any dish such as matar-tofu,palak-tofu and mix veg curry with tofu.My kids love tofu so will yours,try this and iam sure it will make it in your menu quite often.
