Ingredients

  • 250 g firm tofu cubed
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 teaspoons Indian curry powder
  • 200 ml coconut milk I use light coconut milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • Some black pepper
  • 150 g fresh spinach roughly chopped

Instructions

  • In a wok or large frying pan with a lid, heat the oil and sauté the tofu for a few minutes until browned a bit.
  • Add the garlic, ginger and curry powder and quickly stir-fry for a minute to allow the flavors to develop, then add the coconut milk.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper (check if your curry powder contains salt before adding salt to your dish) and cover with a lid.
  • Simmer over low heat for about five minutes.
  • Stir in the fresh spinach, mix it all up well for about a minute or until the spinach is just beginning to wilt. Then serve immediately.

Notes

I generally serve this quick dish with Dahl, brown Basmatti rice or homemade chapatis, and poppadoms. Quick fix Indian and delish!
