Ingredients for Spinach and Tofu Paneer

• 1 carton firm or soft tofu

• Salt

• 1 large bunch spinach, stems discarded, leaves well washed

• 1 jalapeño chilli, seeded and coarsely chopped

• 1 serrano chilli, coarsely chopped

• 1-inch knob ginger, peeled and diced

• 3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

• 230g diced onion

• 2 tablespoons ghee, butter, or vegetable oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1/8 teaspoons nutmeg, plus a pinch

• 1/8 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• 120ml half-and-half

1. Dice the tofu into pieces about the size of a sugar cube or a little smaller. Bring 1450ml water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and lower the heat to a simmer. Add the tofu, turn off the heat, and leave for 4 or 5 minutes. Pour into a colander to drain. (If you've used soft tofu, remove it with a slotted spoon.) Set aside.

2. Steam the spinach until wilted, then remove it to a cutting board and chop. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water.

3. Put the chillies, ginger, garlic, and onion in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Heat the ghee or butter in a nonstick skillet, add the onion mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

4. Add 1 teaspoon salt, the cumin, nutmeg, cayenne, and 240ml water.Simmer for 5 minutes, then return the mixture to the food processor, add the spinach, and puree.

5. Return the mixture to the skillet, add the half-and-half and the tofu, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the yoghurt. Serve over basmati rice.
