Skewers one onion, one capsicum, one tomato then tofu like wise continue to thread them 2 -3 pieces of tofu in a skewer or according to the length of the skewers. I have used small skewers.  
Then grill them in a non stick grill pan.

Dalgona Coffee#SundayFunday

My hubby sent me a link on what's app, make this for me. It's was Dalgona Coffee. He is not a coffee drinker, but, still got excited to see this foamy coffee and wanted to taste it, full filled his farmaish😄!!
Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee.—it started as a Tik Tok trend and has now exploded all over the internet as the trending drink of the moment. It's actually a Korean origin recipe. Is it worth the hype? Only one way to find out, is to make it!! My hubby verdict worth the hype, tasted too good!!

If you've got instant coffee, sugar, and water on hand, you can make this. It'll go by faster if you have a electric hand mixer (don't use an immersion blender - it just doesn't work, I tried it). A regular whisk, will do, you just need a powerful arm, and a good dose of patience and endurance and you'll be rewarded with a nice tall glass of cold, creamy whipped coffee. 
This recipe makes enough dalgona fluff for one serving. It's delicious, chilled and foamy! This coffee is just like Frappe or Indian Cappuccino, served upside down.

Serves One
Ingredients

2 Teaspoons Granulated Sugar
2 Teaspoons Instant Coffee
2 Teaspoons Water
For Serving
Ice, as required
Milk, as required
Method
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, coffee, and water. Using a electric hand mixer or a whisk, vigorously whisk until mixture turns silky smooth and shiny, then continue whisking until it thickens and forms stiff peaks(it takes just 2 - 3 minutes). (If whisking by hand, it will take 8 to 12 minutes to get to optimal fluffiness).
Fill a glass most of the way full with ice and milk, then dollop and swirl the whipped coffee mixture on top, mixing before drinking, if desired.
So fluffy, creamy.. super delicious!!
