Yield serves 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 carton firm or soft tofu
Salt
1 large bunch spinach, stems discarded, leaves well washed
1 jalapeño chile, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped
1-inch knob ginger, peeled and diced
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons ghee, butter, or vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, plus a pinch
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/3 cup yogurt

Steps:

  • 1. Dice the tofu into pieces about the size of a sugar cube or a little smaller. Bring 6 cups water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and lower the heat to a simmer. Add the tofu, turn off the heat, and leave for 4 or 5 minutes. Pour into a colander to drain. (If you've used soft tofu, remove it with a slotted spoon.) Set aside.
  • 2. Steam the spinach until wilted, then remove it to a cutting board and chop. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water.
  • 3. Put the chiles, ginger, garlic, and onion in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Heat the ghee or butter in a nonstick skillet, add the onion mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  • 4. Add 1 teaspoon salt, the cumin, nutmeg, cayenne, and 1 cup water.Simmer for 5 minutes, then return the mixture to the food processor, add the spinach, and puree.
  • 5. Return the mixture to the skillet, add the half-and-half and the tofu, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the yogurt. Serve over basmati rice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I also added some chopped mushrooms, and it was delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tofu paneer turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.

This dish looked so good in the pictures, but it didn't meet my expectations. The tofu paneer was a bit too firm for my taste, and the spinach was a little bland.

Spinach and tofu paneer - a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The paneer was soft and creamy, while the spinach added a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter taste. The spices and herbs complemented each other perfectly, creating a dish
