    • Grill on low heat for 5-6 minutes or until tofu steak get the grill marks from one side.

    SERVING

    • Serve it with rice after garnishing with lemon zest, coriander, sea salt and almond slivers. Also serve alongwith, if the sauce too is left.

    Notes

    • Make sure tofu is not much moist otherwise it will not hold back the sauce.
    • Sauce has to be really thick to stay on tofu.
    • Cornflour step is important and it will help the moist (bit of) tofu to hold sauce.
    • If you don't have a grill pan, just roast tofu on skillet.
