Yogurt-Marinated Baked Tandoori Tofu

Yogurt-Marinated Baked Tandoori Tofu is a delicious and healthy vegetarian dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with tofu that has been marinated in yogurt and spices, then baked to perfection. The result is a flavorful and tender tofu that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1 cup of plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of tandoori spice mix
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil


To serve, you can garnish the dish with fresh cilantro and serve it with rice or naan bread.
To prepare the dish, start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, cut the tofu into cubes and set it aside. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, tandoori spice mix, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Add the tofu to the bowl and toss to coat it in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor. When you are ready to cook the tofu, remove it from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over the tofu and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
The appearance of this dish is vibrant and colorful, with the golden brown tofu contrasting beautifully with the fresh green cilantro. The taste is rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices and tangy yogurt. This dish is perfect for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious vegetarian meal.
