Method

7 steps · 45 min

01
Sauté Onions and Aromatics
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add the onions and sauté until they start to turn brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute, until you can smell its fragrance. Add the green chillies and chopped tomatoes, then continue to sauté until the tomatoes soften and break down.
02
Wilt Spinach and Blend
Add the washed, uncut spinach to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the leaves wilt down significantly. Transfer the wilted spinach to a plate and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, grind it into a coarse paste in a blender, then set it aside.
03
Fry Tofu
In the same pan, add another 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the tofu cubes, sprinkle with a little salt and turmeric, and sauté for about 2 minutes until they're lightly golden on all sides. Remove the tofu and set it aside on a plate.
04
Cook Spinach Paste
Return the coarse spinach paste to the pan. Season with salt and coriander powder. Let it cook over slow heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the spices can integrate into the spinach.
05
Combine Tofu and Spinach
Add the sautéed tofu cubes to the spinach paste and mix everything together. Take the kasuri methi and crush it between your palms to release its aroma before stirring it into the dish.
06
Simmer with Cream and Finish
Pour in the milk or cream and mix thoroughly. Cover the pan and let it simmer over a slow flame for another 5 minutes.
Uncover, drop in the butter, and stir until it melts and incorporates, giving the dish a richer, smoother texture. Finish by stirring in the garam masala.
07
Serve
Serve the palak tofu hot, alongside roti or paratha.
