Instructions
Tofu "Paneer"
Step 1
Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes. Pat-dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Evenly distribute and mix nutritional yeast and salt to the tofu.
Step 2
Add oil to a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook tofu for 5 minutes on each side, flipping only once.
Palak (Spinach)
Step 3
Blend the thawed spinach and 1 cup of water until it's a paste. For a thicker paste, add less water, for a thinner paste, add more water. Set aside.
Step 4
Add oil to a non-stick pan or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and cook until it begins to crackle. Then, add the onion, ginger, garlic, and chiles. Fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, and salt to taste. Mix well.
Step 5
Next, add the spinach paste and coconut milk - stir ingredients together. Lower heat and cook at medium-low with a lid for five minutes
Step 6
Optional: pour the palak mixture back into the blender for a much smoother, consistent texture.
Step 7
Add the cooked "paneer" tofu with the palak and mix well. Serve.
