    looks nice will try for sure..but i have 2 doubts/queries..as per my experience when we fry paneer it becomes hard if we will not keep it immidietly in hot salted water. and tofu is also same…so should we need to put tofu also in hot salted water to keep it soft?
    One more thing, like paneer we just bring the packet from market, open the packet and use it directly but for tofu I have heard that we need to squeeze out water before we cook. could you please elaborate how to use tofu for cooking?

    Hi Richa, I bought a packet of tofu and followed the instructions on its pack.
    So if you buy tofu, please follow the instructions on the packet before using it.
    I am not aware about the salt water thing.
