Instructions
Follow these easy steps to prepare your Grilled Tofu Tikka Skewers:
1. Prep Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap it in a clean towel and place a weight on top for about 15 minutes.
2. Make Marinade: In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin, coriander, and salt.
3. Marinate Tofu: Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into cubes and add it to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Prepare Vegetables: While the tofu marinates, chop the bell pepper and onion into similar-sized pieces to match the tofu cubes.
5. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Skewer Ingredients: Thread the marinated tofu, bell pepper, and onion alternatively onto the skewers.
7. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu is browned and the vegetables are tender.
8. Check for Doneness: The skewers should have grill marks and be heated through. Remove them from the grill once cooked.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh coriander over the skewers before serving, and pair with mint chutney or a tangy dip of your choice.
These simple steps will guide you to creating mouthwatering Grilled Tofu Tikka Skewers that are sure to delight.
