Smoky, spiced and sizzling with flavour, these Tandoori Tofu Skewers are a vibrant plant-based twist on a classic Indian favourite.
Ingredients
- 1 pouch/200 g tofu (e.g. Vivera’s Quick Marinating Firm Tofu)
- 2 cm root ginger, peeled
- 2 tablespoons plant-based natural yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tandoori or tikka curry paste
- 125 g cucumber
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- zest and juice of ½ lime
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
Method
Remove the tofu from the pack and pat dry on kitchen paper. Soak 4 bamboo skewers in cold water.
In a wide bowl, finely grate the ginger add the yogurt and tandoori or tikka paste; mix well. Cut the tofu into 2 cm cubes and stir into the marinade, leave for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, halve the cucumber down the middle, scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon and discard. Coarsely grate the cucumber and place in a bowl.
Stir in the tomatoes and onions, then add the lime zest and juice and coriander. Season to taste.
Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto the soaked skewers and cook in a preheated air-fryer at 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 for 8 minutes. Alternatively cook the skewers under a hot grill or on the barbecue for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Serve the skewers with the salad, flat bread and more yogurt if liked.
