Microwave Spicy Tofu Salad

Contributor : Usha Rao

These are approximate measures.. type chestu approximate quantity rasanu.. I might have added more spice too, as it was very spicy and did not need to add any dressing to the salad

1 pack extra firm tofu (cut into 32 cubes)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp. garam masala
1/2 tsp. tandoori powder or tikka masala forgot what i used, i think used tandoori masala 
little bit of lime juice
salt
1 - 2 tbsp. oil

Mix all the ingredients and marinate for 30 - 60 minutes. Taste the tofu and adjust seasoning according to your taste
Arrange tofu in a micorwave safe plate and microwave for 2 minutes. Flip the tofu and microwave for another 2 minutes. Either flip or toss the tofu and bake for another 3 - 4 minutes tossing them every 1 1/2 minutes. Total microwave time is 6 - 8 minutes.

For salad, some lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, red onions or veggies of your choice. Mix all teh veggies, ad the tofu and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil. My tofu was quite spicy so I did not use any dressing or vinaigrette for the salad. 

I once tried this tofu with cubes of firm tofu, that is precut tofu cubes. Those cubes were quite small and microwaved for 3 - 4 minutes turning the pieces every 1 1/2 minutes. 

You can saute tofu in a pan or also grill them as I did here.http://www.myspicykitchen.net/.../05/18/tandoori-tofu-curry/

be careful with the salt coz soya sauce also will ve some salt in it!!!
