  5. Step 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.
