Ingredients

1 lb firm tofu, drained, cubed

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 oil for deep-frying

2 tbsp ghee

2 1/2 lb frozen, chopped spinach

6 cup fresh tomatoes, cubed

2 tsp curry powder

Preparation

Soak the tofu in the soy sauce for some time.

Now, heat the oil to 350 degrees. While this is done, remove the cubes from soy sauce and drain it of the soy sauce. Now fry the tofu cubes in heated oil and cook till browned and a little crisp on the outside. Set them aside. Leftover soy sauce can be kept and used later.

Now, take a pan and add ghee to it. Now, toss in the spinach and the tomatoes into it. Cover the pan and cook it on medium flame 10 minutes. Now, stir the contents and mix them properly.

Now, take another pan and heat the ghee or vegetable oil. Add the cumin, coriander, black pepper, ground coriander, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, asafetida, curry powder and cayenne pepper; and cook till the spices appear to be browned. After this, add in it the spinach and tomato mix to it, along with some soy sauce and mix thoroughly.

Now, add cooked tofu cubes to it and cook it for some time.
