TANDOORI TOFU

Ingredients:
• 1 tsp paprika/ chilli powder
•  salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1.5 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 75gms  packages extra-firm or firm water-packed tofu, drained
• 1 tbsp  nonfat plain yoghurt
• 6 tablespoons sliced scallions or chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Method:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Combine paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, cumin, coriander and turmeric in a small bowl. Heat oil in a            small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, lime juice and the spice mixture; cook, stirring, until        sizzling and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
3. Slice each tofu block crosswise into 6 slices; pat dry. Use about 3 tablespoons of the spiced oil to        brush both sides of the tofu slices; sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. (Reserve the                remaining spiced oil.)
4. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the tofu until it has grill marks and is heated through, 2 to 3                minutes per side.
5. Combine yogurt with the reserved spiced oil in a small bowl. Serve the grilled tofu with the yogurt      sauce, garnished with scallions (or cilantro), if desired.


-Kitchen Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
