Vegan Tandoori Tofu Tikka

Instructions

1. Press the tofu in kitchen towels and place a heavy weight on it to remove excess moisture. Set aside while preparing the marinade.
2. In a bowl, add all the ingredients for the marinade. Mix well.
3. Dip tofu and peppers in the marinade and coat evenly.
4. Heat the grill and cook for 7-10 minutes until the sides begin to char.
5. Remove from the grill and serve with sliced onion, chutney and ketchup. Wrap in a naan or serve along with some saffron rice.
6. Notes: • Use super firm tofu to avoid crumbling. Press it between paper towels before using to remove extra moisture. • Greek yogurt substitute works best for the recipe. If using regular yogurt, drain in a muslin cloth set in a strainer before using. • The recipe doesn't need a lot of marinating time. If desired, the marinated tofu can be refrigerated overnight before grilling. • Use fresh vegetables if you like. Peppers, onions, corn, broccoli and cauliflower all work well with the tofu.
