This is by far the best tandoori tofu recipe. I have tried many over the years and this one takes the cake! (or tofu, hehe).

My aunt who is a fabulous cook uses this recipe for chicken, I just replaced the chicken for tofu and it was delicious! Not only that, but it was incredibly easy to make – the perfect quick weekday meal.

Ideally, you will want to prep this the night before.

Ingredients for Tandoori Tofu

• 1 block extra firm tofu, sliced
• 1 cup yogurt (use vegan yogurt if you’re vegan)
• 2 tbsp fresh garlic, chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1/2-2 tsp red chilli powder (I use 2 but I like it spicy!)
• 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions for Tandoori Tofu

1. Combine all the ingredients, except the tofu, into a bowl
2. Add tofu slices to the sauce mixture and ensure that all the tofu is covered with the sauce
3. Marinade overnight in the fridge (or a couple of hours)
4. Pre-heat oven to 400 on bake
5. Oil a baking tray and place tofu onto tray (you will have excess sauce, use it as a dip if you please!)
6. Cover baking dish with foil and bake for about 40 minutes
7. Remove the foil paper and broil each side for about 5-10 minutes

Enjoy! 🙂
