Is Tofu Good For You Or Bad For You?
Made of soybeans, tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein. In fact, it's considered to be a complete protein, meaning that it contains all the essential amino acids that your body needs to stay healthy. Eating tofu has also shown to protect against numerous chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancers. Tofu also contains essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, calcium and manganese.
Bear in mind, most tofu is genetically modified. If you're concerned about this, you can opt for organic tofu varieties.
How To Make Desi~licious Tofu Chutney Recipe - Step By Step
- Start by draining the tofu and cut into medium cubes. Add the tofu to a medium-sized food processor (Image 1). You could use a blender for this chutney recipe.
- Now add the rest of the ingredients (Images 2-3).

Top Tips For Making Tofu Chutney Recipe
