If you think tofu to be tasteless then this tofu recipe will change your mind. This oven roasted tandoori tofu recipe is incredibly easy and delicious. You can follow the same recipe using paneer.
Ingredients required for making Tandoori Tofu Recipe –
* 1 lb firm/extra firm tofu cut Into large chunky pieces . Discard the water if your tofu comes in a package filled up with water. Wrap the tofu in 4 to 5 sheets of paper towels and put a weight like a heavy book or a container of lentils or beans on top. Keep like this for 30 minutes to get rid of any excess water from the tofu. Please skip this step if using paneer.
* 1 large red bell pepper(capsicum)
* 1 large green bell pepper (capsicum)
* 1 medium to small onion
For the marinade –
* 4 tablespoons plain unflavored thick Greek yogurt. If using regular plain yogurt, put it on a strainer over a bowl for an hour so that the water drips off. Use any plant based yogurt of your choice if on a vegan diet. Cashew yogurt is my personal best.
* 1 tablespoon tandoori masala (tandoori masala is readily available at any Indian store or online).
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
* 1/4 th teaspoon red chilli powder (optional because tandoori masala already has added chilli powder in it)
* 1 tablespoon paprika (for the red color)
* 4 to 5 whole black peppercorns coarsely crushed or 1/4 th teaspoon freshly crushed black pepper
* 1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds (dhania) coarsely crushed or 1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds (jeera)
* 1 tablespoon almond flour. Can even put some almonds or cashew nuts in your dry grinder and grind to a smooth powder or you can even use gram flour (besan).
* 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
* 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
* 1 teaspoon kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves), crush well before adding
* 2 teaspoon fresh lemon/lime juice
* 1 tablespoon ghee. Can even use regular butter/vegan butter
* 2 tablespoons oil (Use one tablespoon more if not using ghee or butter)
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* pinch of red chilli flakes (optional)
* ghee or oil to brush on top
* coriander leaves and green onions for garnish
Please use a large baking tray or bake in batches if using a small tray. Line the tray with a parchment paper or aluminum foil or oil the tray very well if not using parchment paper.
Serve this as an appetizer or as a side with your main meal. It tastes best the day it is made but also stays good in the refrigerator for 2 days and tastes great when warmed in the microwave.
