Raving reviews

I have to write about this amazing bakery in Plainsboro NJ. They serve delicious cupcakes and a wide variety of cakes. The bakery is Sugar + Sunshine Bakery located in Market Street, Plainsboro NJ. Their website is http://www.sugarandsunshinebakery.com/. I tried their chocolate cupcake and it was out of this world! The coffee is freshly brewed and the bakery has a great ambiance. The bakery also has Red Velvet and Carrot Cake which tastes delicious.

If you are in Plainsboro, NJ, you must stop by and check out this place. It is really worth it!

Kadai Tofu


I like to use Tofu (Bean Curd) in my cooking. It is a healthy substitute for Paneer and there is no major taste difference.

I love making Kadai Panner with Tofu as the substitute for Paneer. Here is the recipe for Kadai Paneer.

Ingredients
Coriander seeds (dhania)- 3 teaspoons
Dry red chillies- 2
Garlic- 1 teaspoon finely chopped
Green peppers- 2
Tomatoes- 4
Coriander leaves
Tofu - Extra Firm- diced
Salt
Turmeric- 1 teaspoon
Kasoori Methi ( Dry fenugreek leaves)- 1 teaspoon

Method
  • Dry roast the coriander seeds and coarsely grind the coriander seeds and dry red chillies.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan and fry the coarsely ground coriander seeds and dried red chillies.
  • Add garlic and add finely chopped tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and salt. Cook till the tomatoes become mushy.
  • In a separate pan, add 2 teaspoons of oil and fry the diced tofu pieces. Remove and set aside.
  • Fry the chopped green peppers and add the green peppers and tofu to the tomatoes.
  • Let it cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Add 1 teaspoon Kasoori Methi and stir.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
