Off late I have started using Tofu instead of Paneer for the simple reason – its a healthier option. Sometime back I had watched Sanjeev Kapoor prepare this Tofu recipe on his cookery show which I had hurriedly scribbled in my dairy for later use.
The day finally arrived for me to
prepare this Sandwich spread. I had some left over Tofu (after
preparing Tofu Bhurji on the previous day) so thought I will try his
recipe. But soon realized that I do not have the two ingredients
mentioned in it namely; sun-dried tomatoes and pickled onions. So I
substituted these items with tomato sauce and ginger and proceeded
with his recipe.
I am happy to say that it turned out
really good. It so happened that the next day, I had some close
relatives who dropped by and since they are foodies, I asked them to
sample it and give their opinion. I was pleased to see that they
too enjoyed it.
You too can try your own version of
this healthy and tasty spread instead of using the fat laden butter for sandwiches !
Ingredients:
| Tofu | 100 gms |
| Hung Yoghurt | 1/2 cup |
| Green chilies | 1-2 |
| Tomato sauce | 4 tsps |
| Ginger (chopped) | 1 inch piece |
| Salt | As per taste |
Method:
- Drain the block of tofu and cut them into quarters. Squeeze out any moisture by pressing it with your hand and then place it in a blender.
- Add all the other ingredients (mentioned above) to it and blend it to a fine paste. The paste will resemble Thousand Island dressing.
- Remove it into a bowl and your Tofu Sandwich Spread is ready.
- Apply this spread instead of butter on the bread slices and have a healthy breakfast.
Preparation time: 15 mins
No cooking required
Note:
I used whole wheat bread and made sandwiches with sliced tomatoes, cucumber and capsicum and sprinkled freshly ground pepper on top.
