Tofu Masala curry



Hi
For the week 1 of Bm  for this month, I chose to blog about healthy dinner recipes.We are typical madrassi’s with a great affinity to have rice based dishes, But for some time now we have moved to chapathi and roti for dinner hoping that it is a healthier option. Our typical dinner is chapathi with a subzi, a glass of buttermilk and some fruits.
