Ingredients

  • 1 lb Firm Tofu
  • 10 oz Spinach
  • 2 tbsp Ghee
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 2 small Green Chilies
  • 1 medium Tomato
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 0.5 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1Press the 1 lb Firm Tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the 10 oz Spinach and blanch for 1 minute. Immediately transfer the spinach to a bowl of ice water. Once cool, squeeze out as much water as possible, then transfer to a blender and blend into a puree.
  3. 3Heat the 2 tbsp Ghee in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 1 medium Onion, chopped, and saute until the onion is golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. 4Add the 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste and 2 small Green Chilies, finely chopped. Saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. 5Add the 1 medium Tomato, chopped, and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. 6Stir in the 1 tsp Garam Masala and 0.5 tsp Cumin Powder. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. 7Pour in the spinach puree and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  8. 8Add the 1-inch tofu cubes and the 0.5 cup Heavy Cream. Stir gently to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  9. 9Stir in the 1 tsp Salt. Serve hot.
