Ingredients
- Firm or Extra firm tofu - 1 block1 unit
- Yogurt - 2 or 3 tablespoons1 unit
- Tomato sauce - 4 oz1 unit
- Olive Oil or Canola Oil - 2 tablespoons1 unit
- Preferred seasonings (suggested seasonings: turmeric1 unitpepper, hot sauce, salt)
Method
1
Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes (preferably)
2
Spread out the tofu in a cookie sheet or a baking sheet and bake it for 20-25 mins at 350-375'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 (or tomato paste), yogurt and oil in a bowl
4
Let the tofu marinate well (about 8hrs) in this gravy. May be left in the refrigerator while marinating
5
After marinating, skewer the tofu onto skewers and grill it on a barbecue grill
6
Alternatively, if grill is not available, arrange the tofu pieces on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 mins at 350'F, then broil for another 20 mins at 350'F in the middle shelf
7
If dryness of the tofu is not preferred, then bake the tofu with the marinade in a baking dish for 30-40 minutes at 350'F and then broil for 20-25 mins at 350'F.

Maybe served with rice or naan
