VEGAN PALAK PANEER WITH CHICKPEA TOFU



Vegan Palak Paneer with Chickpea Tofu image

This vegan palak paneer uses chickpea tofu, replicating the texture and flavor of a soft cheese. This vegan saag paneer, a spinach curry, is made creamy with coconut milk.

Provided by Zena Hassoun

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb. baby spinach leaves (about 12 cups loosely packed)*
1/2 large onion or 1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, tightly packed (chopped)
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced (or 1/2 tsp ginger powder)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
1 cup coconut milk (full fat)
2 tbsp vegetable or avocado oil
1 cup chickpea flour
2 cups water
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch of turmeric (for color)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional, holds tofu together better)

Steps:

  • Begin by preparing the chickpea tofu. Whisk all the ingredients for the chickpea tofu together in a bowl, until smooth and no lumps remain. Grease a 9 in. loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat and spray with cooking oil. Pour the chickpea tofu batter into the pan, whisking constantly. After a few mins, it should thicken, similar to a porridge or polenta consistency, that is thick and sticks to the whisk without dripping. This should take 5-7 mins total. Once it has thickened, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it while it's still hot into the loaf pan to take shape. Smooth it out as best you can into a rectangular shape and cool in the fridge for 30 mins.
  • While the chickpea tofu cools, I like to take this time to dice my veggies and prepare the spinach curry. We will begin by blanching the spinach to preserve its color. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, with enough water to cover all the spinach. At the same time, prepare a large bowl of ice water.
  • Boil the spinach leaves for 2 mins, until bright green, and then immediately drain the spinach and transfer it to the ice water, to stop the cooking process. One cooled, drain all the liquid and set aside.
  • Once the chickpea tofu loaf is cooled and firm, slice it into cubes. Fry the chickpea tofu cubes in a saucepan with 1 tbsp of oil over medium high heat, until crispy and browned on all sides, then set aside. This should take 10-15 mins, and you can multitask.
  • Meanwhile in a large pot, sauté onion in the 2 tbsp of oil, until they are translucent, about 5 mins. Add in chopped cilantro and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 more mins. Add in all the spices except for salt and stir to coat. Then, add in the blanched spinach and salt. Sauté for a few more mins, and then add in the coconut milk and stir everything together.
  • Pulse the mixture in the pot with an immersion blender until everything is smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the spinach mixture to a blender and then return it to the pot.
  • Add in the crispy chickpea tofu cubes to the spinach mixture and heat through. Serve over rice or with flatbread. Enjoy!

  • This recipe is all about multi-tasking and is totally doable in 30 minutes. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F (218 C) and draining your tofu. Then wrap in a clean towel and set something heavy on top. (This step can also be done in advance with a tofu press.)
  • Cube tofu and add to a medium mixing bowl. Season with curry powder, coconut aminos, sea salt, and nutritional yeast. Shake the bowl to gently toss. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium oven-safe seasoned cast iron over medium heat (if using a stainless steel skillet, add a little oil so it doesn’t stick). Once hot, add the tofu and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until a couple of the sides are browned. Then transfer to the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes. If you prefer firmer tofu, bake longer. If you want softer tofu that mocks paneer, bake less. Set aside to rest in the pan.
  • Fill a large pot halfway full with water and bring to a boil over high heat. While you wait, move on to the next step.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium and add the oil. When hot, add the tofu in a single layer and fry 8-10 minutes, flipping every ~2 minutes as the sides turn golden. The tofu will release from the pan as the edges sear. When golden all over remove the seasoned tofu paneer from the pan and set aside.
  • Blanch the spinach. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, with enough water to submerge the spinach in. Meanwhile, fill a large mixing bowl with water and some ice. Once boiling add the spinach and let cook for about 2 minutes until wilted and bright green. Drain the spinach and immediately douse it into the ice water to stop further cooking. Let the spinach cool then drain it.
  • Transfer the spinach to a blender or food processor and blend to a puree. It shouldn't be necessary to add liquid, but if it is, add up to 1/4 cup of water to get the spinach moving. Set aside.
