Grilled Tofu And Veggies

Recipe : Harkirat Uberoi 

Tofu can be best enjoyed when it is as fresh as can be IMHO but some like to cure it, some prefer to mature it and then enjoy, but for me, when I have, I like it fresh, and so I had to carry on pampering myself with it as long as it lasted.

Prepared the vegetables :
Onion : 1/2, quartered
Garlic cloves : 6
Green chillies : 3 slit
Colored peppers : 100 grams, diced
- Skewered them and sprinkled some salt on it, left for about 15 minutes.

Made a marinade for rest of veggies :

Yoghurt : 100 grams, beaten with :-
Salt. 1/2 tsp
Garam masala : 1/3 tsp
Tandoori masala : 1/3 tsp
Ginger Garlic paste : 1/2 tsp
Chilli paste : 1/3 tsp
Kashmiri mirch powder : 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder : 1/4 tsp

This marinade for the vegetables :-

Potato : 1, diced
Brocolli : 1/2, small cut onto florets
Carrot : 100 grams, diced
Leave for about 15 minutes. Skewer them and keep ready to grill.

Prepare tofu :-

Cut into large dices.
Make a dry seasoned flour coating :
Flour - 50 grams
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Black pepper - 1/4 tsp
Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp

With the vegetable marination, lightly rub on the tofu and then roll the tofu dices on the seasoned flour, pat firmly on all sides, after 5 minutes again roll in the flour and keep aside for 10 minutes.

Fire your grill to high first and then bring the heat to medium, brush the grill lightly with cooking oil and then place all the skewers, turn them around in a minute, turn again after a minute and then another time after a minute.

Also place tofu gently on the grill and also turn them around in 30 second intervals to cook till crisp on all sides.

All the raw veggies, marinated veggies and the tofu should get ready at nearly the same time.

Ring the dinner gong and ask all to be seated and serve Grilled Tofu and Veggies to the ever so desirous souls, some delicately spiced crispy grilled tofu with marinated veggies and some sides of onion, pepper, garlic and chillies, for those who want to pep it up further !!!
