Sastojci

400 grams firm tofu

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoons salt

250 grams spinach

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 bay leaf

12 grams garlic (2 large cloves)

12 grams ginger (1/4-inch piece)

170 grams onion (finely chopped 1 small)

140 grams tomato (chopped ~1 small)

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garam masala

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1/3 cup coconut cream (see note below)

Upute

Combine the nutritional yeast, lemon juice and salt in a freezer bag, and then add the block of tofu. Press out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Let this marinate for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into bite-size cubes.

Boil a large pot of water, then blanch the spinach just long enough for the spinach to wilt. Alternatively, you can put the washed spinach(with a little water still on the leaves) in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until the leaves wilt. Immediately plunge the blanched spinach in cold water to stop the cooking.

Drain the spinach, but do not squeeze it. Put it in a blender or food processor to purée, adding a little water if necessary.

In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the cumin seeds and bay leaf.

When the cumin starts popping, add the garlic, ginger and onions, sautéeing until lightly browned and fragrant.

Add the tomato, turmeric, and salt, and then sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes and the mixture is thick and chunky.

Add the spinach purée and tofu, and simmer over medium-low heat until mixture is creamy and fragrant (about 15 minutes). If the spinach is not thin enough to make a sauce, add some water.

Adjust the salt to taste, and finish the palak paneer by adding the garam masala, cayenne pepper, and coconut milk.
