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

  1. 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.
  2. Now add the rest of the ingredients (Images 2-3).
  3. Blend until you achieve a creamy consistency, and all the ingredients are well blended (Image 4).

Top Tips For Making Tofu Chutney Recipe

  • Always opt for silken tofu for the perfect creamy consistency
  • Use a fresh medium garlic clove instead of ready-made garlic. It makes all the difference
  • Add fresh dill. This gives this chutney a punch of flavour
  • You can add more chilli flakes for an additional spicy kick
  • Refrigerate leftover chutney in an airtight container. It tastes even better (and is creamier!) the following day

Indian Matchmaking – Netflix’s Divisive Show and Indian Culture’s Harsh Realities | Desi~licious RD

Discussing South Asia’s problematic rishta culture through Sima Taparia from Mumbai. If there is one thing about quarantine that all of us have in common, it’s binge-watching television. Never has there been a better time to plop in front of the TV with a plate full of biryani! And when Sima Taparia from Mumbai in Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking graced our technological screens, the show – depicting Indian culture – its rishta game, hit a little too close to home. The show follows a straightforward concept. Potential brides and grooms-to-be alongside overbearing parents meet Sima Aunty for an ice-breaker discussion. Preferences are conveyed, prospective suitors are perfected on paper, meeting schedules are arranged, and then it’s up to the couple to decide their chemistry and compatibility levels.  In some ways, the producers have tried to direct the narrative away from the typical “big fat Indian wedding” and offered the reins of decision making into the 30 somethings hands.
