Tofu is a great meat replacement used mostly by vegans and those looking to reduce their meat consumption, its also been consumed in Asia as an essential ingredient for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Tofu is made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid blocks of varying softness; it can be silken, soft, firm, or extra-firm. You'll be using extra-firm for this tofu tikka recipe.
Tofu is very healthy plant-based source of protein that is low in calories and fat. For each 100kcal serving, tofu has 11 grams of protein. By comparison, 100kcals of ground beef provides 8.9 grams of protein with half of those calories as fat, with a load of artery-clogging cholesterol.
One of the things I love about tofu is how extremely versatile it is and, with the right flavours it can be oh so delicious! I love it with spices, in a thick creamy sauce alongside fresh coriander, sweet mango chutney and fresh lemon rice, this combination is so far my all time favourite!
The sauce to this curry packs a flavourful punch, it can be made medium spicy or as I prefer it, hot! If you haven't tried a tofu curry recipe before, the why not give this one a go?
