Instructions

Heat a medium to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it get hot.
Add your pressed and cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until some of the edges of the tofu are golden.
Then add in the salt, pepper, Kashmiri garam masala, coriander, cumin, and any of the spices you are using and toss well to coat. Cook for another minute to roast the spices as well.
Then add in spinach, salt, garlic powder, onion flakes,m, ketchup/tomato paste and mix well. Cook until the spinach is not frozen and doesn’t smell raw. 3- 4 minutes.
Then add in yogurt and mix in. Add in 1/2 cup of water and mix in and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for another 3-4 minutes for the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust salt and flavor then take off the heat.
Garnish with pepper flakes and garam masala. Optionally drizzle some coconut cream or thinned our vegan yogurt. Serve with flatbread, roti or naan, or rice. For low-carb, serve it with cauliflower rice.

Notes

Soy-free, use pre-cooked potatoes and/or roasted cauliflower to the gravy. Or, make your own chickpea tofu and add that. Or add 1 cup cooked chickpeas
add 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast for extra umami
Oilfree: toss tofu in half of the spices and bake until golden. Then add to the skillet. Add remaining spices, spinach and tomato paste and cook and follow the rest of the steps.
