Ingredients

  • 2 blocks extra firm tofu (300g)
  • 2 tbsp vegan yogurt (soy/cashew)
  • 2 tsp kashmiri chili powder
  • 1 tsp fennel powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1-2 tbsp oil
  • salt
  • splash of water

Garnish

  • chopped coriander
  • lime wedge

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 220C.
  • Add all spices, lemon juice and yogurt to a bowl and give it a good mix. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick.
  • Thaw your frozen extra firm tofu in the microwaves for 2-3 minutes and drain any excess water.
  • Break them up into chunks and coat well in the marinade. Marinate for a few hours to overnight if time allows. If not, please proceed to the next step.
  • Insert them into skewers, along with some vegetables if you'd like. You can use multi-coloured bell peppers for that vibrant colour.
  • Bake them for about 15 minutes, flipping them halfway and put them on the grill setting for 5-10 minutes.
  • Top with some chopped coriander and lime wedge. Serve with my mint coriander chutney.
