Method
Make the naan
- Do this first and in advance due to the time taken
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and nigella seeds
- Stir in the yoghurt and warm water
- Mix until it forms a shaggy dough
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface
- Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic
- Return to the bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size
- Punch down the dough, then divide into 4 equal pieces
- Shape into balls, cover, and leave to proof for 15–20 minutes
- Lightly flour your work surface
- Roll each dough ball into a circle or oval shape, around 4–6mm thick
Marinate and cook tofu
- Preheat the grill to high
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl
- Toss through the torn tofu until well coated
- Thread onto skewers then place on a tray under the grill for 10–15 minutes until pretty well charred
Make the sauce
- Heat a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan or saucepan over a medium high heat
- Cook the chopped onion with a pinch of salt until golden then add in the garlic, ginger and spices for a minute or two until very fragrant
- Add in the almonds and passata, fill the passata jar or can ¾ of the way up with water and add that in too
- Bring to a simmer and simmer until you have a nick thick sauce (slightly thicker than normal if using in flatbreads)
- Taste and season with salt and sugar if needed
Serve
- Spoon the sauce onto the naans
- Top with the tofu and remove the skewers
- Garnish with pickled onion, nigella seeds and fresh coriander
