Tofu marinates in tandoori spices and is grilled until crispy in this vegetarian grilled tofu recipe. To make this tandoori tofu recipe completely vegan, use non-dairy soy yogurt instead of regular - it still works out just fine. Turn these tandoori skewers into a full meal by adding some eggplant chunks, tomatoes or bell peppers to the skewer.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup plain or lemon yogurt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsp tandoori spice blend
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, well-pressed, and chopped into cubes
- bamboo skewers for grilling, pre-soaked
Preparation:
Whisk together all ingredients, except tofu, until well combined. Add tofu, covering well with sauce. Chill for at least 30 minutes; longer is better, turning once or twice to ensure tofu stays well-marinated.
Transfer tofu to skewers, basting again with sauce.
Place on a pre-heated grill for 6-8 minutes, turning once or twice, until tofu is cooked and crisp.
Pair these tandoori skewers with a fresh homemade cucumber raita.
