Taste ka taste aur Health ka health - Shimla Mirch Tofu Sabzi

Today morning, I felt lazy and decided to keep the lunch menu very simple. I got into the kitchen, browsed the fridge and found some tofu and capsicum. These interested me to try something new and tasty. Tofu gives the taste of paneer, but is non-fatty and high in protein content. Taste ka taste aur health ka health !

Here is the dish that came about:
