II. TOFU IN CREAMY SPINACH SAUCE

In this recipe, inspired by the vegetarian recipe “Palak Paneer”, I use panfried tofu instead of paneer.

I highly recommend this delicious dish. Not only are you getting a popeye’s quantity of nutritious, fortified spinach, the tofu provides a satisfying source of protein for those on a vegan, veggie or plant based diet 🌱

Method. Blanch spinach, rinse w cool water and blend in a high speed blender adding red pepper flakes. Press and slice tofu. Toss with cornstarch, pan fry in oil until done. In a pan, saute onions and garlic. Add greens 💚 mix, add garam masala, salt, pepper, sugar and fresh lime juice. Add your cooked tofu, stir and enjoy 😉
