Golden morsels of tofu have a delicate creamy interior while the outer layer is delightfully crispy after getting a quick toss in the pan. Coupled with fibre-rich chickpeas stewed in a creamy tikka sauce, this curry is not to be missed! Smart is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's kilocalorie and carbohydrate amount.

Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add tofu, then season with salt, pepper and Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend. Pan-fry, turning cubes occasionally, until crispy and golden, 4-5 min. (TIP: If spices start to burn, reduce heat to medium.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Return the same pan (from step 1) to medium.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add onions and tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.
- Stir in tikka sauce and stock powder. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 30 sec.
- Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and half the chickpeas with their canning liquid to the pan (use all for 4ppl). Bring to simmer over high.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are tender and tomatoes are broken down, 8-10 min.
- Add spinach, half the tofu and half the cilantro to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. (TIP: If curry reduces too much, add 2 tbsp water at a time, until desired consistency is reached.)
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide curry between bowls.
- Top bowls with remaining tofu.
- Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish's flavourful taste, though some suggested boosting spice levels or adding a bright element like yogurt sauce.
- Ease of prep: Customers found the recipe easy to make, with some noting the tofu was less wet and easier to work with than expected.
- Suggestions: Consider serving with naan bread or rice to soak up the sauce; reduce water for a thicker consistency and stronger flavour.
- Portions: Several reviewers felt the serving size was small for a full meal; adding a side like bread could make it more satisfying.
- Texture: Some found the tofu challenging to cook without becoming rubbery; others preferred the previous crumbled tofu version to cubed.
