Yield 12 tofu cubes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 lb. deep-fried tofu, cut into bite-size pieces
3/4 cup thick Greek-style yogurt, about 6 oz.
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 inch fresh ginger, grated
1 green serrano chile, finely chopped, including seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted in a dry skillet and ground in a coffee grinder
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly toasted in a dry skillet and ground in a coffee grinder
1 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon
Coarsely chopped cilantro, to serve

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu into bite-size pieces and put into a large bowl. Put the yogurt into another bowl, add the tomato paste, garlic, ginger, chile, salt, and toasted cumin and coriander seeds, and stir well. Spoon the mixture over the tofu and toss gently so that each piece is well coated. Set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Spread over a roasting tray and cook in a preheated oven at 400? for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Transfer to a platter, then sprinkle with the lemon juice and cilantro. Let your guests help themselves to these succulent pieces of tofu, using cocktail stick. Alternately, thread a tiny wedge of lemon onto each stick, followed by a tofu cube.
