Tandoori Tofu

This Recipe Is:

WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com

A tandoori-inspired spice rub and smokiness from the grill flavor these tofu “steaks.” While you’re there, grill some vegetables, too, to serve alongside. Serve with: Grilled eggplant and cherry tomato skewers and brown basmati rice.

Ingredients

Prep: 30 Minutes | Total Time: 30 Minutes

2 teaspoons
paprika
1 teaspoon
salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon
ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon
ground turmeric
3 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
1 tablespoon
lime juice
2 14-ounce packages
extra-firm or firm water-packed tofu, drained
2/3 cup
nonfat plain yogurt
6 tablespoons
sliced scallions, or chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Combine paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, coriander and turmeric in a small bowl. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, lime juice and the spice mixture; cook, stirring, until sizzling and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Slice each tofu block crosswise into 6 slices; pat dry. Use about 3 tablespoons of the spiced oil to brush both sides of the tofu slices; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. (Reserve the remaining spiced oil.)
Oil the grill rack. Grill the tofu until it has grill marks and is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Combine yogurt with the reserved spiced oil in a small bowl. Serve the grilled tofu with the yogurt sauce, garnished with scallions (or cilantro), if desired.
