Kugan, very nice healthy oats chapathi. I will certainly try it out. You have not said anything about the rajma curry that I have asked. Also my father -in law always likes to eat steamed talicha kolkattai. Can you make that using oats? Thanks Kugan

I don't know about the tofu there, but here it's quite hard and taste bland, only the sauces enhance it. Or in this case, the masala. She recommended shallow fry, so cholesterol is not much of an issue.

Yet again!

You get cholesterol from animal fat, not vegetable fat.
Animal fat: Ghee, Milk, Cheese, Panneer, Lard, etc

And you are right Rakesh, tofu cannot absorb anything - not oil, not taste...

What tofu is that, Raghu? Over here they are usually soaked in water. Both hard and soft tofu.

Rakesh anna

I normally eat in Chinese/Thai for lunch break. I often eat mix vegetables with Tofu as my main dish. It has deep fried tofu with noodles and Mix veg, and if you squeeze the tofu you get an Oily / Watery liquid comes out! Perhaps it is water, but it tastes like oil
