tofu with spinach indian style -x-

[Guest guest]

although i could not get recipes from the restaurants and companies that

prepared food at the tofu fest in little tokyo, I can guess at recipes that

would make comparable dishes. The Nawab of India (Restaurant) served a Spinach

Tofu Curry that was more like tofu paneer with spinach but the seasonings (I

think) were closer to this. -pat
