Equipment

  • Skewer
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 500 Grams Tofu
  • 3 Bell Pepper
  • 2 Onions Big size
  • 2 Tbsp Yogurt Use vegan yogurt for vegans
  • 1.5 Tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 1 Tbsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 Tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1.5 Tsp Salt As per taste
  • 1 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Garam Masala Powder
  • 3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Oil

Instructions
 

  • Cut tofu, bell peppers and onions into cube.
  • Now take a mixing bowl and add yogurt and ginger garlic paste to it. Now add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt, lemon juice and mix well.
  • Now add cubed vegetables and tofu and mix them well so that they are all well coated with the  paste. Cover the bowl with cling film and let it marinate for 2 hours.
  • Take skewer and pierce through tofu, onion and bell peppers. Try to hold tofu pieces between 2 pieces of bell peppers. This way they don’t fall down while cooking.
  • Pre-heat oven to 180 deg. Brush the tikkas with oil and put in oven. Let the tikka get cooked for 10-12 mins, till you can see light charred look on tofu.
  • Turn the skewers to ensure tofu as well as bell peppers are cooked from all sides.
  • Once cooked take out the skewers and serve hot with green chutney.

Notes

  • If you are using bamboo skewers, then dip them in water for 2-3 hours so that they will not get burnt while cooking.
  • Always cook on medium temperature. If you start cooking just after the coal has ignited, tikka will not cook properly from inside and will be burnt from outside.
  • Longer you keep to marinate, succulent your tofu will taste.
