Recipe: Saag Tofu (Indian) - vegan

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

Here is a fairly easy recipe for Saag tofu, it comes

from " The Giant Book of Tofu Cooking. " Tofu takes the

place of paneer, a fresh cheese used in Indian

cooking.

 

 

SAAG TOFU

---------

16 ounces firm or extra firm tofu, cubed

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon garam masala or curry powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 inch piece of ginger root, peeled and chopped

3 garlic cloves

1 green chili

1/4 cup water

1 pound fresh spinach, washed and chopped

1/4 cup plain soy milk

Naan (Indian flat bread) or basmati rice, cooked

 

Fry the tofu in 3 tablespoons oil until golden brown.

Sprinkle with the garam masala (or curry) and half the

salt. Set aside. In a blender or food processor, add

the ginger, garlic, chili, and water, and process

until smooth. In a saucepan, heat the rest of the

oil, and add the contents of the food processor. Stir

for about 30 seconds, then add the spinach and the

remaining salt. Stir for a minute, then cover the

saucepan, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the

tofu cubes and soy milk to the saucepan, stir gently,

and leave to simmer 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring

once or twice. Serve with Naan bread or over rice.

I love the temporary aroma that curries/masalas give off while

cooking...almost like it's painting your walls. I have some Indian and

Pakistani friends, and their places are literally stained with the wonderful

aromas of spices.

On the flip-side if you ever want your house/apt to have a bad reek, get

yourself a James Coney Island chili-dog and leave it in a room for only 5

minutes. Smells like armpit, lol.

 

Cheers,

Shawn

 

P.S. I agree, this recipe sounds wonderful. I've always wanted to try and

make paneer...seems easy enough...even got the cheesecloth for it but never

got around to it...shoulda woulda coulda!
