My latest culinary experiment is Tofu bonda…tried it out with potatoes n carrots with usual spices, its was really yummy, spicy, crispy as well as healthy..a very good appetizier as well as side for any rice dishes..wat u need to make this bonda is extra firm tofu, which is usually used for making main courses, side dishes as well as soups..while choosing ur tofu check it thoroughly whether they r extra firm tofus r silky tofus..Tofus r rich in proteins..here we go..
