Cooking Steps
- Add rice, stock powder and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Strip leaves from cilantro stems. Thinly slice stems, then roughly chop leaves, keeping stems and leaves separate.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp butter (2 tbsp) then, mirepoix, cilantro stems and tofu. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.
- Add Dal Spice Blend to the tofu. Cook, stirring to coat, 1 min.
- Add tikka sauce and cream cheese. Cook, stirring often, until cream cheese melts, 1 min.
- Add 1 cup (1 1/2 cups) water to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until sauce comes to a simmer.
- When simmering, cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 5-6 min.
- Add spinach. Cook, stirring gently, until spinach wilts, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add cilantro leaves and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice. Fluff with a fork until butter melts.
- Divide rice between bowls. Spoon tofu and tikka sauce over top.
- Sprinkle chana dal over plates.

Cook tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the turkey, until golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.
