Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut the blocks of tofu in half so you have 4 big tofu slabs. Put the cornflour and spices in a large shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper, then mix together. Coat each tofu slab in the spiced cornflour, then put on the lined baking tray and spray each with a few sprays of oil on each side. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway through.
  2. Finely grate the garlic and ginger into a large frying pan. Add the olive oil, then fry over a low heat for 3 minutes. Add the mango chutney, followed by the cider vinegar and 5 tsp water. Cook, mixing away, until the sauce has thickened.
  3. Peel the cucumber into ribbons into a large bowl. Add half the lime juice and some salt, then mix and set aside.
  4. In a food processor or blender, whizz most of the coriander with the yogurt and the remaining lime juice to create a green sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Slice the buns horizontally, then toast in a dry frying pan or in the oven for 5 minutes.
  6. Fill the buns with the coriander yogurt first, then the crispy tofu, a good dollop of the sticky mango sauce, some cucumber ribbons, the remaining coriander and more coriander yogurt.

  1. Made this for a Monday night quick dinner and it was fantastic. Really easy to prep and everything came together in the time specified. The coating on the tofu was wonderfully crispy and I could have eaten twice the quantity of the mango sauce. If you like coriander you’ll love the yoghurt that goes with it. It makes a lot so you’ll have leftovers. This will definitely make it onto our regular rotation. The only thing I would do differently next time is slice the tofu lengthways and not in half.

    1. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe, particularly the mango sauce! Thanks for sharing your tip, too.
