1 1/2 kilo dates is jujube for us to just eat it as it is

Dear P.S Tamby, with my son's guidance I managed to post the pictures for you.
Here is how I fry them. Kugan


The first is a soft tofu, it is only good for steaming.
They use it in dishes like mopo tofu

SOFT TOFU:




This is the hard tof, which we use for all our dishes.

HARD TOFU:




This is how I do the shallow frying

SHALLOW FRIED TOFU:




If you cut it into thin strips, you get crispy tofu.

CRISPY TOFU:



Gram flour coated frying for sweet sour or manchurians.

FLOUR COATED FRIED TOFU:




At times my children would request, spicy fried tofu. I will just rub chillie powder
tumeric powder, salt, and deep fry it for them.


SPICY FRIED TOFU:

Dear P.S Tamby, thanks for your inquire.
Tamby, I normally use besan flour as coating for only if I am doing Manchurians, sweet sour tofu and so on.

Isn't that same as Gram flour, made from chick peas ?

I have taken pictures of different types of frying.
I have changed my pc set, all is new to me.
I will post as soon as I can.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

Thank you

I guessed that much, that's why I posted a picture of the soft tofu.
Good now you know the difference.
Use also the tip given by our akka for using little corn flour.
Take care Kugan.
