making of Tofu is like paneer and so does its appearance n taste(not exactly the same). but the difference is tofu is made of soya milk.its slowly gaining recognition in India since its much more healthy option than paneer.here in singapore icecreams are also available made from soy milk. what's the substitute for egg or is it necessary?

Rajiv Anand

Tofu is made from soymilk curdled with a coagulant in a very similar process of curdling milk. Its rich in protein and other healthy ingredients like Isoflavones. It easily absorbs the flavours of the other ingredients and is used in most of south east asia, china, japan.
