Tofu Masala – Vegan-Friendly Recipe

My Tofu Masala recipe is one I adapted from Madhur Jaffrey’s Quick and Easy Indian Cooking. It was originally for Hard-boiled Egg Masala.  When I was a meat-eater, it was one of my favorites for weekend breakfast.  So, I changed it up a bit for my preferences and substituted silken tofu for the eggs.  We love Indian food and the texture of the tofu perfectly substitutes hardboiled eggs, for us anyway. It’s still one of my favorites for an easy breakfast or dinner, plus now it’s vegan-friendly.

I hope you enjoy the recipe.  Let us know in the comments!

Happy Living,
