Oh, did I mention it's super easy! <br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b>:<br />
2tsp Tandoori paste<br />
2tsp Natural yogurt <br />
300g of tofu, cut into cubes<br />
1 large red onion, sliced into wedges <br />
1 yellow pepper, cut into chunks Handful of button mushrooms <br />
<br />
<br />
First mix the tandoori paste and yogurt in a bowl.<br />
Cut the tofu into cubes and add to the tandoori-yogurt mix, make sure all the tofu is covered in the paste, then place in the refrigerator for 2h.<br />
2h later......<br />
Cut the red onion into wedges then brush with olive oil.<br />
Cut the yellow pepper into chunks and brush, do the same with the button mushrooms.<br />
Place tofu, peppers, onion and mushroom onto skeweres in any order. Heat the grill or BBQ, cook the skeweres for 10-15mins.<br />
<br />
Just serve with some rice or a salad, what ever you prefer. I'd recommend mixing mint, lemon juice and a bit of olive oil to some natural yogurt for the perfect dip to accompany the tofu skewers! <br />
<br />
ENJOY! :) <br />

Here's the recipe:<br />
<br />
Makes 12 <br />
<br />
110g self raising flour (sifted)<br />
110g caster sugar (personally I use less as I don't like them too sweet, this is up to you)<br />
110g margarine (softened)<br />
1tsp baking powder<br />
2 large free-range eggs<br />
1tsp vanilla essence<br />
<br />
Pre-heat oven 160'c<br />
Mix all together in a bowl until creamy consistency using an electrical whisk<br />
Scoop into casings and bake for 20mins until golden brown<br />
<br />
Nutella filling:<br />
<br />
225g icing sugar (must be sifted!)<br />
50g unsalted butter<br />
50g nutella<br />
<br />
Cut out a circle from the top of the cupcake, scoop out the cake<br />
being careful not to break the circle, trim off excess cake on circle so that you are left with a 'cake lid'<br />
Fill the hole with nutella icing and then put the circle lid back on top<br />
Then cover the cupcake with either nutella icing or any other icing you fancy!<br />
I went for nutella icing in top with crushed nuts! :) <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYhoWjB3oVQjeg2KTJtlFvAVteg5IfmqP3v8nqh0I0HIqJ7j6NLNlf0PqYwJJXK1mWPjef3mkKdWKipoYmsZfSLXF3ts9d1DGi_g_hw8B_Zb38TuugfEmgIXs16vUzVXk1YjFRua-cRJw/s640/blogger-image-2137044815.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYhoWjB3oVQjeg2KTJtlFvAVteg5IfmqP3v8nqh0I0HIqJ7j6NLNlf0PqYwJJXK1mWPjef3mkKdWKipoYmsZfSLXF3ts9d1DGi_g_hw8B_Zb38TuugfEmgIXs16vUzVXk1YjFRua-cRJw/s640/blogger-image-2137044815.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSL7NU9c-9grj6hv3hED4BV9oh8S_nOyDIu9pRjazMjm_HjFAUiI8VMwfYs5ffBVFnOl1oFg4xUS2ZzEwY5gf2EN47r2Awr7lSmtZ2xZwGB9VvBTgEqxeZhI5OOdCM8ssDo_0sVIgc6s/s640/blogger-image--675699932.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHSL7NU9c-9grj6hv3hED4BV9oh8S_nOyDIu9pRjazMjm_HjFAUiI8VMwfYs5ffBVFnOl1oFg4xUS2ZzEwY5gf2EN47r2Awr7lSmtZ2xZwGB9VvBTgEqxeZhI5OOdCM8ssDo_0sVIgc6s/s640/blogger-image--675699932.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-sT4jRCoC2RbBCxNFvvDgrzpvo3vhI8r9zqc3vXKJmhm78ZSbMg9h_L8KsE6EVBgZXKBom4rheeRznBrbdprN30_8wrtGZhL29o1L-w_bHWClqdo0GQQXSKIjYeS0oNIMxtnrdiGxCU/s640/blogger-image--350409850.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-sT4jRCoC2RbBCxNFvvDgrzpvo3vhI8r9zqc3vXKJmhm78ZSbMg9h_L8KsE6EVBgZXKBom4rheeRznBrbdprN30_8wrtGZhL29o1L-w_bHWClqdo0GQQXSKIjYeS0oNIMxtnrdiGxCU/s640/blogger-image--350409850.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3F-P5gA3hoX47YGypmAjg_tZzOt9G7StuXjYBKofXoFeRJl-JzQo_81CzDX9SzysKP-RKw_CiArFlHBoWTmr5_XRM5tugo0tmwR9xZCO0CCGbP_m15miZ7I1TFREYLQ-x3UppFT-Iwg/s640/blogger-image-1301882729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3F-P5gA3hoX47YGypmAjg_tZzOt9G7StuXjYBKofXoFeRJl-JzQo_81CzDX9SzysKP-RKw_CiArFlHBoWTmr5_XRM5tugo0tmwR9xZCO0CCGbP_m15miZ7I1TFREYLQ-x3UppFT-Iwg/s640/blogger-image-1301882729.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
