Week #36 My latest creation Idfu :)

I attended anutrition seminar a few months and was shocked at what is termed starch in this country. Chick Peas or Channa is regarded a starch here, whereas in India everyone talks about how much protein it has. All the dals that are supposed to contain protein has a lot of carbohydrates too. So, I wanted to add some real protein to our Idli ( steamed rice cakes) and so here is IDFU (Idli+Tofu). I had two fussy eaters try this out and I got great reviews from them both. So,let me know what you all think!

Ingredients:
Extra firm tofu-diced- 1/2 cup
onions,carrots,broccoli,cauliflower diced- 1/3 cup
oil- 1 tablespoon
salt and pepper to taste
Idli flour- 1 1/3 cup
Idli steaming vessels

Method:
Saute tofu in non stick pan and allow it to brown. Add salt and pepper and then add onions followed by veggies. Saute them all
until cooked. Set aside and add idli flour in a greased plate or in the usual idli plates. Add 1 teaspoon of veggies or more if using greased plate. Steam them for 10 min on medium heat and serve with your favourite chutney or sambar! Enjoy!
