Tandoori Grilled Tofu with Red Peppers & Broccolini
Spiced yogurt does two jobs here as both the marinade and the sauce for this grilled tofu recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- ¾ cup whole-milk plain yogurt
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish
- 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thickly sliced
- 1 14- to 16-ounce package water-packed extra-firm tofu, cut into 4 slices and patted dry
- fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Transfer 1/4 cup to a small bowl and stir in lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Add broccolini and bell pepper to the medium bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. Add tofu to the medium bowl and gently toss to coat.
- Oil the grill rack. Grill the tofu, broccolini and bell pepper, flipping once halfway through, until slightly charred, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and serve with cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.

Mochi Banana Bread
What happens to classic banana bread when you swap in sweet rice flour? The result is neither wholly mochi nor traditional banana bread—it’s a lovely in-between, decidedly familiar with a fun textural twist. Baked in an 8x8-inch pan, this bread gets its pleasant springy texture from the sweet rice flour (a common brand is Mochiko, available at Japanese markets and online), while retaining some cakey qualities via the all-purpose flour. This pancake recipe| New Window similarly uses a combination of the two flours, to get the best of both worlds. Melted butter, sour cream, and brown sugar provide the tenderness and richness you’d expect from banana bread, in the form of plush, snackable squares.
