Hi Manjula,
When you mention oven temperatures, do you mean degrees celsius or fahrenheit?
I think your recipes look wonderful and I love your cooking videos.
Kind regards,
Nina
All of these recipes refer to temperatures in Fahrenheit only.

Hi Jyoti,

Manjula ji I made this barfi just now and it is perfect thank you so much for making this website and videos I could not cook so well if it wasnt for you. Thank you

You can try it and see how it comes out, although I have never tried it that way. Tofu has a different taste and texture than paneer, but it COULD possibly work.
If you try it, please report back here and tell us how it came out!

Hi Mona,
Hope you are happy in Finland. I visited there once.
Do try to make your own paneer for this dish. Paneer is very easy, you can see aunty’s recipe for it here on her site.

Namaste Manjula Auntiji,
I am your fan. Aap mere mummy jaise ho. I make food after seeing your recipes. I am very young girl and moved to Finland after marriage. I have learnt so much from your website.
I can say with pride that agar kisi ki mummy nahin hain pass, to Manjula aunti ki website se dekho.
But Aunti, please say in grams how much Paneer you get after using 4 gallons of milk. Because I will not be making paneer at home but getting it from Indian market. Aapke saab Paneer dishes mein grams mein mention ho, then it will so good.
With love and regards(just like to my mom)
