Why does no one talk about this? I just found out that you can substitute Paneer with Extra Firm Tofu in my favourite dish, Palak Paneer!

Ingredients

1 pkg Sunrise Extra Firm Tofu , cut into small cubes
2 tbsp neutral oil
500g frozen chopped spinach
1 medium yellow onion , diced
1 medium tomato , diced
½ tbsp garlic , minced
½ tbsp ginger , minced
1 jalapeno , diced (and seeds removed)
6 tsp garam masala spice mix
1 tbsp dried fenugreek (optional)
½ pkg Sunrise Silken Tube Tofu
Salt (to taste)

Directions

  1. Cut Sunrise Extra Firm Tofu into small cubes and add it to a large bowl. Submerge it in hot water for 5 minutes and drain.
  2. In the same skillet or wok, add 1 tbsp of oil and toss in your diced onion, tomato, jalapeno, garlic, and ginger. Toss for 3-5 minutes until aromatic and onions become translucent. Then add in the garam masala spice mix. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add frozen spinach and sauté for another few minutes until spinach is completely thawed and has released enough water. Add in a few tablespoons of water at a time until it gives you a sauce-like consistency.
  4. Transfer everything into a blender and toss in half a tube of Sunrise Silken Tube Tofu. Add salt to taste.
  5. Pulse a few times if you want some texture, or blend completely if you want a smooth sauce.
  6. Transfer mixture back to the skillet or wok, and add in your cubed tofu. Also sprinkle in crushed dried fenugreek (optional). On low heat, reheat the mixture and simmer for an additional 5 – 10 minutes. Stir occasionally so the tofu is well incorporated into the sauce.
  7. Serve this on top of some hot basmati rice and enjoy!
