Ingredients

  • 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu
  • 2–3 tablespoons yogurt
  • 120 milliliters (4.1 US fl oz) tomato sauce or tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
  • Preferred seasonings (suggested seasonings: turmeric , pepper , hot sauce , salt )

Directions

1

Cut tofu into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes.

2

Spread out the tofu on a cookie sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes at 170–190 °C (340–370 °F). This releases the extra water from the tofu and dries it out to be able to absorb the marinade.

3

Mix the spices, tomato sauce, yogurt, and oil in a bowl.

4

Let the tofu marinate well (about 8 hours) in this mixture, preferably in the refrigerator.

5

After marinating, thread the tofu onto skewers and grill it.
