Ingredients
- 420g firm tofu
- 5 tbsp soya sauce
- 200g plain soya yoghurt (unsweetened)
- 3-4 tbsp vegan tikka paste (available in all supermarkets… check ingredients)
- 1 tbsp gram flour, sieved
- 2-3 green peppers, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice (optional)
- 1-2 tsp vegan syrup eg agave or maple (optional)
- Serve with our raita recipe or a good dollop of unsweetened yoghurt, brown rice and fresh herbs (all optional)
Instructions
- Drain the liquid from the tofu, pat dry and then slice into 2-3cm cubes.
- Lightly fry the tofu in the soya sauce until the liquid has been absorbed but the tofu stays soft rather than crispy.
- Remove the tofu from the heat and leave it to cool.
- In a large bowl thoroughly mix together the yoghurt, tikka paste, gram flour, salt, pepper and optional lemon juice and vegan syrup.
- Stir the tofu into the yoghurt mix, making sure it’s thoroughly coated and then place in the fridge for one hour.
- When the barbecue (or hot grill) is ready, thread the tofu onto skewers alternating with a chunk of the green pepper.
- Cook on both sides until lightly charred.

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
