Ingredients

1 block of extra-firm tofu, well-drained

1 cup plain Greek yogurt, low-fat/no-fat

1 T. lemon juice

1/2 large onion, diced

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1-2 T grated ginger

2 t. turmeric

1 t. garam masala

1 t. cayenne pepper

1 t. paprika

1/2 t. ground coriander seeds

1/2 t. cumin powder or seeds

Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, and spices for the marinade. Set aside.

Directions

After draining a container of extra-firm tofu, slice the tofu block lengthwise (still shaped like a thin deck of cards), marinate in the yogurt and spice combination for 2 hours to overnight.

Place the tofu slices under the broiler (low setting) in the toaster oven or counter-top convection oven about 4-5 minutes on both sides. Just watch it closely so that it does not burn. Otherwise, try grilling the tofu (in thicker slices). Either way...Enjoy!

Makes about 4-5 servings/slices of broiled tofu.
