Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 8 min.
  • Add peas. Cover and cook for 5-7 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Pat tofu thoroughly dry with paper towels, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Season with half the Indian Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Sear tofu
3
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. When hot, add tofu. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook tofu in 2 batches, using 1 tbsp olive oil per batch.) Pan-fry for 6-7 min, turning cubes occasionally, until crispy and golden all over.
  • Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add curry paste, broth concentrate, ginger-garlic puree and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer tofu to a clean plate.
Start curry

  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, onions and remaining Indian Spice Blend. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add curry paste mixture. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Add tofu back to the pan. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish curry and make yogurt sauce
5
  • Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add yogurt, half the cilantro and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • To the pan with tofu, add spinach. Cook for 1 min, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts.
Finish and serve

  • To the rice, add remaining cilantro and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide rice between bowls, then top with tofu curry.
  • Drizzle yogurt sauce over top.
