Tofu - Alu Paratha

It is very healthy to include Tofu(Soya Paneer) in our regular diet .Tofu has very little flavor or smell on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.It is low in calories and contains a relatively large amount of Iron and contains little fat.Though you can substitute paneer with tofu in our dishes there will be a compromise in taste,but it is so healthy.Here comes a simple paratha made up of Tofu.
