Ingredients
- 400 g firm tofu pressed
- 1 tablespoon tikka paste either shop bought or homemade
- 100 ml vegan yoghurt
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes (see note).
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Lightly grease a metal roasting dish.
- Once the tofu has been pressed cut into chunks and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add a tablespoon of tikka paste and 100ml dairy-free yoghurt.
- Mix carefully - tofu breaks easily so take care with this stage.
- Transfer to the prepared roasting dish and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Turn the pieces over and then return to the oven for a further 20 minutes.
Notes
- To press tofu either use a tofu press or cover with a layer of kitchen towel or a clean tea towel and place something heavy on top eg a heavy chopping board, cookbook or pan. Leave for around 20 minutes. You may wish to change the towel halfway.
