- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon yeast flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
Ingredients for the Curry
- 150 gr soaked cashews
- 250-300 gr fresh spinach
- 200 ml water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- thumb-size ginger minced
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon chillie powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
Baked "Cheesy" Tofu
- Set the oven to 200°C/390°F. Cut the tofu into cubes and add it to a mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce, yeast flakes, garlic powder, onion powder and ginger powder. Coat the cubes and bake for 15 minutes.
Palak Curry
- Add into a food processor or a blender jar the pre-soaked cashews, wilted spinach and the water. Blend for a couple of minutes until you have a smooth consistency.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add one tablespoon of coconut oil. When heated, add the onion and cook for a few minutes until soft. Add the garlic and ginger, stir for 2 more minutes. Set to low-medium temperature and then add the tomato paste. Cook for 1 more minute then add the spices into the pan.
- Leave the spices to cook until fragrant. This shouldn't take longer than 40-50 seconds. Make sure you are not burning your spices. When fragrant, add the spinach-cashew sauce, stir until everything is combined. Adjust the consistency with water if needed. Let it simmer for 4-5 minutes and add the baked tofu.
- Before serving, for a better presentation, add a little bit of plant based cream on the top. It can be coconut, cashew, soy or oat cream.
- Serve with basmati rice, naan bread, papadaums or your favourite combination.
Notes
- If the garlic and spices are browning too fast lower the heat or remove the pan from the heat and de glaze it with a little water.
