I bet there have been many times you have stared at a Tofu slab and wondered, “How to cook with tofu?”

Or, my favorite question:

“How do I make tofu taste delicious?”

Well, if you like anything Tandoori, you will LOOOOVE this recipe.

The recipe is easy to make and the spices can easily be found at your local Indian Grocery Store. Also, Amazon sells the spices online, so, you have no excuse!

I am one of those people who love Tandoori food.

Actually, let me be a little more descriptive!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE tandoori food.

That shouldn’t surprise anyone. I am Indian which makes me genetically predisposed to liking tandoori food.

My all time favorite is paneer makhani. It goes by many different names like paneer tikka masala or paneer curry, etc. I tend to judge an Indian Restaurant’s worth based on how good their Paneer Makhani Recipe.

I have ordered it at every Indian restaurant I can find and will not step into an Indian restaurant that doesn’t serve it.

As I get older and try to get healthier, I have to cut back on how much paneer I will consume. This is why I came up with my a Tandoori Tofu version.

I didn’t miss the paneer in this recipe and you won’t miss it either!

My tandoori tofu is a vegetarian recipe, but, I also provide vegan options. Coconut cream will take the place of heavy cream and you can use vegan yogurt instead of regular yogurt

If you are in the mood for some curry, I have a sweet potato curry recipe that you have to try. There is also a corn on the cob curry and a Watermelon curry! Which one is your favorite?

Use this grilled tofu in a wrap recipe, like my tofu wrap. Grilled tofu tastes soooo very good.

You can choose to mix any vegetables with the tofu. Cauliflower, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, even small cabbage cubes will work great with this recipe. The sky is your limit!

I don’t have a tandoori oven, so, I had to make do with my regular oven. If you have a tandoori oven, use that and know that I am very jealous of you!

I served this Tandoori Tofu with an Italian Parsley Chutney. The recipe is coming soon, but, you can make regular green chutney using cilantro. If you want a good green chutney recipe, try this one by Marc at norecipes.com

So, do you have a favorite way to make tofu?
