How long should I marinate the tofu and vegetables for these kebabs?

For the best flavor, marinate the tofu, peppers, and onions in the tikka masala mixture for at least 30 minutes, and up to 2 hours.

What's the best way to grill these tofu tikka kebabs?

Heat your grill to medium, lightly grease it with cooking spray, then grill the skewers until all sides are nicely charred and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Why is soy yogurt used in the tikka masala marinade?

Soy yogurt provides a creamy, tangy base for the tikka masala, helping to tenderize the tofu and carry the spices deeply into the ingredients for a rich flavor.

How can I prevent the wooden skewers from burning on the grill?

Soak your wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes before threading the ingredients to help prevent them from charring excessively on the grill.

Can I prepare the kebabs ahead of time?

You can marinate the tofu and vegetables for up to 2 hours in advance. Threading them onto skewers can also be done ahead, but grill just before serving for the best results.
