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

  1. 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.
