Saag Tofu

This is a wonderfully easy recipe. With the yogurt and garam masala, the dish has a nice spice, but is not spicy-hot. I used 1 cup of fat-free plain yogurt. I highly recommend it for an easy weeknight meal. Serve it with rice.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb firm tofu, cubed
• 1  tablespoon  vegetable oil
• 4  teaspoons garam masala
• 4  teaspoons kosher salt
• 3  medium garlic cloves, sliced
• 1  medium onion, sliced
• 2  medium plum tomatoes, chopped
• 2  teaspoons ground ginger
• 1  lb spinach
• 1⁄2-1  cup plain yogurt

Directions

1. Mix tofu with 1 T of the vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of the garam masala, and 2 teaspoons of the kosher salt (or about 1 tspn of table salt). Mix carefully.
2. Put tofu in a single layer of a 12-inch skillet and cook until it is browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Put garlic and onion in pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and ginger and cook about 2 minutes.
4. Add spinach in several bunches and stir frequently. Cook until spinach is very wilted and liquid is cooked off, about 7 minutes. Stir in reserved tofu and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir together remaining garam masala, remaining salt, and yogurt and add to spinach mixture. Stir until well mixed.
