- 7 oz firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
- heavy pinch of kala namak (may swap for nutritional yeast)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut milk, use full fat
- 4-5 clove garlic, minced
- 1-in piece ginger, minced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 1/2 tsp kasoori methi (dried fenugreek)

- to serve: lime wedges, red onion, pepper flakes, etc.
Directions
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the cubed tofu. Coat the tofu with the oil and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1/4 tsp sea salt, garam masala, cumin, cayenne and kala namak.
- Coat the tofu with the spices and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the tofu to cook (partially covered) for about 8-9 minutes.
- While the tofu is cooking, in a high powered blender, add the water, spinach, coconut milk, remaining sea salt, garlic, ginger, tomato, baby spinach, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth puree.
- Add the spinach mixture to the cooked tofu, mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Cook for 12-16 minutes on medium-low heat, covered.
- Serve over rice or quinoa, with naan or roti.
