Creamy Tofu Curry (Vegan, Gluten free)

This creamy delicious tofu curry is one of my comfort foods. Especially in winter

whats better than having a warm curry for dinner. The best apart about this yummy curry is its nutrition value and that its cooked without using oil. Surprised huh! Yes Indian curries can be cooked without oil.

Apart from being high in protein, this curry has spices like turmeric which is natural anti-inflammatory, cumin seeds which promotes digestion, kasuri methi which helps in controlling the metabolism of glucose and hence prevents type-2 diabetes.

This protein packed curry takes less than 30 mins to cook and can be stored in refrigerator for 2 days. Although I am not a fan of eating leftovers as they tend to loose taste, nutrition value and harder to digest.
