Ingredients

  • 400 g firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 small onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, chili powder, and turmeric.

  2. 2

    Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Thread the marinated tofu, bell pepper chunks, and onion wedges onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the tofu and vegetables.

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tofu is nicely charred and heated through.

  5. 5

    Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with yogurt or mint chutney if desired.
