If you’re looking for a tasty and healthy vegetarian appetizer, then look no further than Tandoori Skewers with Apricot Chutney. This easy-to-make dish has great flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Tofu is marinated with sweet curry powder, sugar, and salt, then roasted until crispy and golden brown. The apricot chutney is a sweet and tangy sauce that complements the spiciness of the tofu well. The texture of the tofu is similar to meat but is a vegetarian-friendly, protein-rich option that is low in fat and calories.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2.	In a bowl, combine sugar, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and salt and mix well. Add tofu cubes and toss to coat. Thread 4 tofu cubes onto each of the 8 skewers and place on a greased baking sheet.
3.	Bake for 10 minutes, turning once, or until edges of tofu are browned and slightly crisped.
4.	In a small saucepan, combine jam, onion, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon curry powder with 1 tablespoon water and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until jam is melted.
5.	Serve the skewers with the apricot chutney on the side.
