Cut tofu into 48 equal sized cubes. Mix together all ingredients in marinade (ingredients 2-9). Marinate tofu at least 48 hours in refrigerator (tofu can remain covered and refrigerated in marinade for up to 1-½ weeks).
Mix all ingredients for masala (ingredients 10-21)in a shallow container or dish. Remove marinated tofu cubes from refrigerator; mix with masala sauce, making sure cubes are covered. Cover and store cubes in refrigerator several hours, or up to several days, shaking or stirring occasionally.
Light barbecue, hibachi, indoor grill or oven broiler. Thread tofu cubes and mushroom caps alternately on skewers, using 6 cubes and 4 caps per skewer. Broil, grill or barbecue about 3 inches from the heat source, turning and basting with masala sauce until slightly charred on all sides, 10-15 minutes.
To serve: Place each skewer along middle of flatbread. Grasp bread around skewer with hand; pull skewer out with other hand, leaving tofu and mushrooms in bread. Skewer also can be placed on mound of rice. Serve with other accompaniments (and lots of napkins!) Remaining masala sauce can be heated gently and served on side. makes 8 skewers (4 servings).
