Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) package water-packed firm tofu, drained
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 lb Baby Spinach
1 cup low-fat yogurt or 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Cut tofu into thirds lengthwise and eighths crosswise. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring gently every 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, ginger and mustard seeds and cook until the onion is translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add spinach in batches small enough to fit in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until all the spinach has been added and has wilted, 4 to 6 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, combine yogurt, curry powder, cumin and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add to the pan along with the tofu and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

I'm allergic to spinach. Is there a way to make this dish without spinach?

This recipe seems a bit complicated. I'm not sure if I have all of the ingredients, and I'm not sure if I have the time to make it.

I'm not sure how tofu would taste in this dish. I'm used to eating saag paneer, and I'm not sure if tofu would be a good substitute for paneer.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tofu. I always have a block of tofu in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up.
