Tofu Tikka Plate with Brown Rice & Spinach

A bright remix of the original paneer tikka, swapping in firm tofu for a lighter, plant-forward take. Tofu is marinated for flavor, then roasted for a crisp edge, paired with a spiced tomato-cream sauce, wilted greens, and nutty brown rice. Flavor upgrades include a lemon finish and a touch more cumin for warmth.

Instructions

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Press tofu 20 minutes before marinating for extra firmness.
  • If short on time, skip roasting; pan-sear tofu over medium-high heat until golden.
  • Toast the spices lightly in the pan before adding sauce for deeper aroma.
  • Balance acidity with lemon; add a few drops to finish just before serving.
  • Use light cream for a lighter sauce or coconut cream for a richer feel.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a fresh cucumber raita or yogurt-mint sauce alongside for cool contrast.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in a microwave.
