Chop the tofu into cubes.1. In a bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with the 4 tsp oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp cayenne, and 1 TBSP nutritional yeast (if using).2. Bake on the prepared tray for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and browned.
- Prepare tofu - boiling method only. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drain the tofu and pat with paper towels to remove excess water. Chop the tofu into cubes.Add the cubed tofu to the boiling water and boil for 2 minutes. Use a strainer to remove the tofu from the water and drain immediately. Set aside.
- Blanch the spinach. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (use the same pot if you boiled the tofu). Meanwhile prepare an ice bath (a large bowl of ice water). Submerge the spinach leaves in the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes, or until wilted yet still bright green. Immediately transfer to the ice bath to stop cooking.

- 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.
