yuck

tofu (being bean curd) upsets my stomach. Being flavorless alone-- it will take on the flavors it is cooked with. And I wonder where they get the idea its low cal? 3 oz is 117 cal, but almost 50% of that is fat. I eat healthy, (weigh 120# at 5'7") eat mostly vegetarian, but tofu is not part of my menu plan.

    Firm tofu is well suited for the grill because it does not fall apart. Seasoned with curry powder, the grilled tofu is not only filling, but also refreshing with its complementary sweet, spicy and tangy tamarind chutney served on the side for dipping. You may have extra chutney left over; serve it with grilled chicken or pork.
