Mixed vegetables in a red tomato-based gravy, this is a delicious low cal subzi with the goodness of lots of veggies and nutrient-filled soya chunks. It is not very apt to use whole soya chunks in Subzis as they look too big, and not all would like to eat big chunks… hence, chop them so that the subzi will look good, and it will also suit everybody's taste. This korma is rich in vitamin A and folic acid as it has carrots, coriander, tomatoes etc. Further, I've also used less oil and low fat milk and cream to curb the excess calories. Healthy and nutritious for all age groups, you can even include this as part of your daily meals!

I bet even the goans would not have tried making their traditional fish curry with soya instead! and it tastes just fabulous. Cooking the onions on an open flame gives it a semi-charred taste which is very unique. Moreover, straining the tomatoes after cooking them imparts a good texture and flavour to this dish.

Even the humble soya chunks become royal when floated atop a rich "Shahi" white gravy. Drain out the water and also the foam that forms on top of the onions and cashew mix when cooking as the flavour will be spoilt if you keep the foam on.

The very prefix of "kadai" is a qualifier for a recipe. . . You can be almost sure you are in for a rich, scrumptious feast! this special dish, which is a low cal variation of the original recipe, is just as tasty as the high calorie original version. Sliced capsicum make the dish look rather "pretty" and colourful! kasuri methi infuses an interesting flavour to the dish. You can make it at home: just clean, wash and sun-dry the fenugreek leaves for 2-3 days and kasuri methi is ready. If you keep it refrigerated in an air-tight bottle, you can use it for months! since it is dried and the flavour is concentrated, it is to be used only in small quantities. Relish with low cal accompaniments like phulka, missi rotis or occasionally if you are feeling indulgent with soya puris.

Amazingly tasty vegetable kofta, with an extra dose of goodness-thanks to the addition of soya granules. Potatoes and tofu add mass to the dish, even as they bind the rest of the ingredients together. If you are calorie-conscious, you could bake or steam the kofta instead of deep-frying. Kofta dishes always involve an elaborate cooking procedure, but definitely a great choice for a lavish sunday lunch! the paste can be made in advance and stored so as to save a little on cooking time. Alternatively, you could make tikkis instead of kofta.

Although Missi Rotis get their unique flavour from besan, the dough is almost always made with a combination of flours and the addition of soya flour does not harm the original taste in any way. Kasuri methi and the other spices add just the right amount of zing to these Rotis . I have made the Rotis thick so that they remain soft and taste better; however you can roll them thinner if you prefer. You can have them for Breakfast or as a meal accompanied with any subzi of your choice. I suggest you try these with Bharwan Aloo or Subz Korma or Kadhai Tofu .

Perfect choice for the cold, rainy day, when you want to wake your sleeping senses with a spicy malwani gravy! a traditional recipe, from the heart of the maharashtra, the green gravy with coconut milk and the garden fresh feel of coriander, are indeed a pleasure to accost! not only a sensory delight but a healthy one too, thanks to the generous dose of soya. It's also made with very little oil, so you do not have to worry much about the calorie count either.

There is a marathi word called 'zhanzanit' that describes this dish perfectly… the method of cooking and the thoughtful combination of spices give this particular recipe a fantastic texture and taste. I warn you it is tough to stop eating this subzi once you start. Serve with phulkas or soya puris and you will realize this is what they mean by bliss!

Yin and yang. Black and white. Life always becomes more interesting when opposites come together! in this recipe, the crunchiness of sprouts and the softness of tofu come together in one bowl to steal your heart! this dish is easy to make but absolutely delicious! you can use a combination of sprouts or a single one. . . Its your choice.

Frankly, a kulcha is not a mere accompaniment… it is a delicacy in its own right! here, I have used whole wheat flour and soya flour instead of plain flour to make the khulchas. Khulchas are thick and they fluff up like phulkas. Don't forget… they taste best when hot! Traditionally, they are served with Punjabi Subzis but you can also try them with Stuffed Capsicum in Tomato Gravy , Corn Soya Koftas in Malwani Gravy or Soya Vegetable Medley .

Perfect choice for occasional treats, when you want to surprise your family with something exotic on the dinner table! Relish these puris with a subzi of your choice, or pick from the range of soya Subzis in this book. Soya oil used to make these puris is heart-friendly due to its high PUFA content. Different brands of soya oil are easily available in the market. Be warned however that even if it is beneficial for health, it is oil nevertheless and its consumption has to be restricted to 4 to 5 tsp (20 to 25 gms) per day per person. So, remember that soya puris are an occasional treat and would not fit as part of your regular diet!

Visually appealing and amazingly tasty, these Parathas look very good thanks to the green hue imparted by the spinach purée. There are different varieties and brands of tofu available, both Indian and international. Indian tofu is softer in texture and less expensive than the international ones. You could use whichever is easily available, that will not change the 'effect' of the dish!

Aloo based recipes are a dime a dozen! But this is my all-time favourite. I guarantee you, the stuffing used for the aloo here is a first-rate blend of tofu, nuts and spices… best combination in the whole world! Cream helps to blend the ingredients well so that it sticks well to the cavities in the scooped potatoes. Do not use big potatoes as they don't look good in the subzi, and also take longer to cook. Opt for small or medium sized potatoes. Keep them ready in advance, so that when a guest comes, you could just make the gravy, pour over the potatoes and serve. If need be, you could warm the subzi in an oven or microwave.
