Best Tandoori Tofu Recipes

TANDOORI TOFU VEGAN PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. Make the natural yoghurt - process silken tofu, lemon juice, soymilk and apple cider vinegar until completely smooth. (This yoghurt will be used for three different components: the tandoori marinade, the pizza base sauce and the garnishing mint yoghurt) 2. Make the tandoori marinated tofu - add the diced extra-firm tofu to a bowl. Top with the tandoori paste, garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of the vegan yoghurt (made in step 1). Stir until tofu is evenly coated. If possible, allow to marinate in the fridge for about 3 hours. If you in a hurry, allow at least half an hour. 3. Make pizza base sauce - Take half of the remaining vegan yoghurt mixture (from step 1) and put it in a bowl. Add the tandoori paste, sugar and the garlic clove. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness and saltiness if needed. Set aside 4. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) 5. Make the mint yoghurt sauce - Add the remaining yoghurt mixture (from step 1) to a bowl with the mint leaves. Stir to combine and set aside. 6. Add the marinated tofu and the oil in a pan. Fry on high heat until browned on all sides. Set aside. 7. Line two pizza trays with baking paper or spray oil. Add the pizza bases to the trays and divide the pizza base sauce on both. Spread with a spoon until both pizza bases are evenly covered. Top with the onions, cherry tomatoes and the marinated tofu. 8. Bake for approx. 30 minutes until slightly browned on top. 9. Serve hot with a drizzle of mint yoghurt, salt and freshly cracked black pepper and a handful of baby spinach on each pizza. Enjoy!

TANDOORI TOFU

Steps:

• Cut the tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• To make the spice mixture, put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together.
• Toss the cubes of tofu in the spice mixture and stir so that they all get coated. If you have time, you could leave the tofu to marinate in the spice mixture for a few hours but this is not essential.
• Spread the cubes of tofu out on a grill pan or on a baking sheet and broil 10-15 minutes, until sizzling and crisp, turning that a couple of times.
• Serve hot and sizzling from the broiler, sprinkled with the fresh coriander.

TANDOORI TOFU

Steps:

• Cut the tofu into bite-size pieces and put into a large bowl. Put the yogurt into another bowl, add the tomato paste, garlic, ginger, chile, salt, and toasted cumin and coriander seeds, and stir well. Spoon the mixture over the tofu and toss gently so that each piece is well coated. Set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Spread over a roasting tray and cook in a preheated oven at 400? for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Transfer to a platter, then sprinkle with the lemon juice and cilantro. Let your guests help themselves to these succulent pieces of tofu, using cocktail stick. Alternately, thread a tiny wedge of lemon onto each stick, followed by a tofu cube.
