Method
- Bring two pans of water to the boil and salt them. Wash the spinach well in several changes of water.
- Rinse the basmati rice and cook it in one pan over medium heat for 12 minutes, until tender; drain and keep covered.
- Meanwhile blanch the spinach in the other pan for 2 minutes, until wilted and bright green; drain, cool under cold water and blend with a splash of water to a purée.
- Finely chop the peeled onion, garlic and ginger; drain the tofu, pat it dry and cut into 2 cm cubes. Heat the sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the onion, garlic and ginger for 4–5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Add the garam masala, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, add the tofu and fry for 4 minutes, turning, until lightly golden.
- Pour in the spinach purée, season with salt and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until thick and piping hot; turn off the heat and stir in the plain yoghurt off the heat so it doesn't split. Serve with the rice.
