Get ready to try something new and exciting in your Keto journey with a recipe that is packed with protein and healthy fats: Tandoori Tofu. If you’ve never tried tofu before, don’t worry, I’m in the same boat!
Tofu has a texture similar to paneer or cottage cheese and offers a similar taste profile, but it is made from soybean milk and has a unique composition.
Before diving into the recipe, let me share some useful tips.
Make sure to wash the tofu slab with fresh water before using it, and then soak it in water for a while to achieve a soft and spongy texture. Another important thing to keep in mind is that tofu can become hard and chewy if overcooked, unlike paneer or cottage cheese. So, be mindful of the cooking time to ensure the perfect texture — Priya Dogra.
Now, let’s get to the recipe for Tandoori Tofu. Once you master this dish, you’ll realize that you can enjoy delicious Indian flavors right in the comfort of your own home. No need to go out for Indian food when you can create it yourself!
The beauty of this recipe is that you can substitute tofu for cottage cheese in all your favorite dishes. Tandoori Tofu will be a delightful addition to your Keto menu, providing a burst of flavors and a healthy dose of protein.
Tip: If you don’t have all these spices handy at home, just ask for ‘Tandoori Masala’ in any Indian store and use one tbsp for this recipe — Priya Dogra.

I can’t have tofu due to a soy allergy, but I would definitely try out this sauce with another type of protein or even just in a veggie stir-fry. Look delish!

You can skip the tofu and add mushrooms and other veggies or even chicken to this marinade.

I was just going to ask what you could use instead of tofu….Something that I’m still not interested in trying LOL. I’d use chicken for this.

This sounds yummy. I’m not a big tofu fan, but this would be great with veggies!

I do the opposite with tofu – I press extra firm tofu to get rid of as much water as possible and then sear it in a pan. I love using it as a protein for Indian and Thai dishes.
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running
Wow, this looks delicious! The combination of spices and flavors looks great.

This sounds very delicious. To make it vegan can I substitute plain non-dairy yogurt? And is there a suitable vegan substitute for the ghee?
Priya Dogra
Hi, you can substitute non-dairy yogurt and olive oil to make it vegan.
