Indian Curried Tofu Scramble – Vegan & Glutenfree

Indian Curried Tofu Scramble: high protein, flavorful, easy-to-make breakfast or light meal recipe using tofu, mixed vegetables, curry powder, and oil. Perfect for quick meals or packed lunches, pair with bread, wraps, or rice. 

What is Indian Curried Tofu Scramble:

‘Tofu’ was something I tried for the first time when I came to USA and I loved the taste and texture of it as it was very similar to our Desi Paneer (Indian cottage cheese).

I loved that it’s extremely easy to use in various styles/recipes, easily available, and is packed with protein. Especially as a vegetarian or vegan, it’s an awesome source of protein.

This is one of my GOTO recipes using tofu as it’s SUPER EASY … takes literally under 15 minutes to cook and it can be used in soooooo many ways.

If you haven’t yet tried it, you should definitely make my delicious version which is a mix of tofu with fresh vegetables, and then add the magic of ‘curry powder’ along with turmeric, chili powder, and salt to tantalize your tastebuds.

This delightful and nutritious dish is not only easy to prepare but also a perfect way to infuse your mornings with the rich and aromatic spices of Indian cuisine.

This recipe will be extremely helpful if you transitioning from egg eater to vegetarian/vegan. It gives you the same texture and kind of taste … so that you don’t miss the eggs in your diet.
