Tandoori tofu kebab

By Mrunal | Updated: 06/02/2019

Tofu, made from soy milk is a healthier substitute to paneer. It is a high protein, low-fat option for all those health seekers. Tofu kebabs with ripe tomato, onion, and all the healthy veggies make a delightful vegetarian supper from the grill. These kebabs will be excellent for your next barbecue. Kids can also help thread vegetables on skewers – but make sure the sharp ends are removed.

Tip: Pressing the tofu before marinating allows it to absorb the flavors, plus the resulting firmer texture makes the tofu easier to grill. Both wooden and metal skewers are great for kebabs. Wooden skewers need to be soaked in water for 30 minutes before use.
