Method
Marinade:
- Add the peeled garlic clove (1) and peeled ginger (2cm piece) to the bowl. Chop Speed 7 / 3 seconds. Scrape down sides.
- Add the lime juice (20g), natural yoghurt (250g), garam masala (1 tsp), ground coriander (1/2 tsp), chilli powder (1/4 tsp), salt (1/2 tsp) and pepper (1/2 tsp) to the bowl. Mix Speed 4 / 5 seconds.
Assembly:
- Add the cubed tofu (400g), peeled and chopped red onion (1), chopped capsicum (2) and marinade to a mixing bowl. Allow to marinate for 2 hours.
- Skewer the tofu and vegetables onto mini skewers.
- Fire up the BBQ to a medium to high heat.
- Cook the skewers over the BBQ, turning often, until the vegetables start to soften and the tofu has formed a golden crust. We have found that 5-7 minutes on one side and then 2-3 minutes on the other works well.
- Serve garnished with fresh coriander.
- Enjoy!
