Tofu Palak Paneer

with Quinoa & Mango Chutney

Palak paneer is a popular North Indian dish consisting of cubes of fresh cheese in a thick, flavorful sauce of pureed spinach, spices, aromatics, and cream. For our plant-based version of this classic, we swap protein-packed tofu in for the cheese and use coconut milk in place of the cream in the sauce. A dollop of sweet, tangy mango chutney takes this dish to the next level.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the tofu

Preheat oven to 425Ā°F. Combine tofu, just 2 tsp curry powder, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt on baking sheet. Toss and bake until tofu is browned in places, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer tofu to plate and cover to keep warm.

2
Cook the aromatics

Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, just 2 tsp ginger, jalapeƱo, and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add just 1 tsp garam masala and tomato powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3
Make the palak

Add coconut milk, Ā½ cup water, Ā¼ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper to saucepan with aromatics. Bring to a boil and stir in spinach. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until spinach wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully transfer spinach mixture and lemon juice to blender and pulse until partially smooth, 3 to 5 pulses.

4
Warm the quinoa and serve

Make small tear at top of quinoa bag and microwave for 60 seconds. Divide warmed quinoa and palak between bowls. Top with roasted tofu. Serve with mango chutney and lemon wedges. Dig in! (TIP: You can also combine precooked quinoa and 1 tbsp water in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and steam until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.)
