Tofu Tomato Omelette (Savoury Tofu Tomato Pancake)
#risenshine
Tomato Omelette is a Maharashtrian dish. Chickpea flour and tomatoes are the main ingredients used in this dish. A pancake is made out of it called as Polaa in Marathi language, which resembles an omelette, and hence the name. A few other ingredients added to it, makes it totally delectable.
In this recipe, I have added some coloured bell peppers which are beneficial to our health and their inclusion had no effect on the original taste of the omelette. Again as Tofu is a high protein food, I have added it to this dish to increase it’s health quotient. Paneer too can be substituted here instead of tofu if desired. I have used homemade ghee to roast the omelette as it imparts a delicious flavour to the dish and is good for our health. By choice though, oil can be substituted instead!
Proteins give our body the much needed energy and keep us feeling full for long. Chickpea flour and tofu are two such ingredients, which are high in proteins. Apart from this they have certain other benefits too and hence including them in our breakfast provides our body with lots of nutrition.

Okonomiyaki (Japanese Savoury Pancake) with Tofu Okonomiyaki (Japanese Savoury Pancake) with Tofu
I come from the Kansai region, so I love okonomiyaki! My Singaporean husband also loves it. It's easy to eat a lot without thinking, I added tofu and hijiki as a healthy choice. It turns very soft and delicious. We both ate too much of this!!This mixture is little bit soft, so please be careful when you turn it over! First cook one side very well until nicely golden brown, then slowly turn it over. If you add more flour, it will be easier to flip, but I cook with less flour. It's also easier if you cook it in smaller batches. This recipe is vegetarian, so if you're not, add some pork or seafoood. For 2 servings. Recipe by Lantana

Egg-Free! Fluffy! Tofu Pancakes! Egg-Free! Fluffy! Tofu Pancakes!
I wanted to try making a tofu pancake myself since they have been so trendy as of late.Ahh!! But I didn't have an egg! I tried making one anyway with what I had on hand, it turned out really delicious.Silken tofu is the best, but if you don't have it, then firm tofu is fine.Be careful not to over mix when you combine the dry and wet ingredients!! If you do, then they will turn out to be more like flat crepes!!When you are cooking them, you should let heated the frying pan rest on a damp cloth for three seconds. This makes them turn out much nicer. Recipe by Pu-chan -
Easy Doughnut with Tofu and Pancake Mix Easy Doughnut with Tofu and Pancake Mix
I rescued leftover tofu.If you are planning to eat right after deep-frying, use a lot of tofu, but if you are planning to eat after time, I recommend using a smaller amount. With lots of tofu, the outside is crunchy, and the inside is fluffy and moist. But if you let them stand for too long, they will become soft. With a small amount of tofu, it's still delicious after cooled, and it's dense and filling. Recipe by keikana -
