Palak Tofu Curry

Palak Tofu Curry

with Basmati Rice and Crispy Onions

'Palak' is Hindi for spinach, the iron-rich leafy green in this mildly spiced, creamy curry - not to be confused with 'saag', which means any kind of leafy greens! Firm tofu, made from compressed soybeans, is the perfect vehicle for soaking up the delicious flavours.

Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice and 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Prep the Tofu
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Drain the tofu and thoroughly pat dry with kitchen paper. Tear into 3cm chunks and pop into a medium bowl.

Sprinkle over the flour and salt for the tofu (see pantry for both amounts). Toss together so the tofu is nicely coated. 

Fry the Tofu
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn't burn. 

Meanwhile, clean out the tofu bowl. Once the tofu is crispy, transfer it to the (now clean) bowl and set aside for later.

Make the Sauce
4

Wipe out the (now empty) pan and pop back onto medium heat with a drizzle of oil. 

Add the garlic, korma curry paste and curry powder. Fry for 30 secs.

Next, stir in the vegetable stock paste, mango chutney and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. 

Add the Spinach
5

Add the tofu back into the pan and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly, 2-3 mins. 

Stir in the creme fraiche and butter (see pantry for amount).

Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

Add a splash more water if you feel it needs it. 

Serve
6

Share the rice out between your serving bowls.

Spoon over the curry. Sprinkle on the crispy onions to finish. 

Enjoy!
