Saag Tofu (Indian Tofu With Spinach) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package water-packed firm tofu, drained
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 lb Baby Spinach
1 cup low-fat yogurt or 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Preparation

Cut tofu into thirds lengthwise and eighths crosswise. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring gently every 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, ginger and mustard seeds and cook until the onion is translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add spinach in batches small enough to fit in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until all the spinach has been added and has wilted, 4 to 6 minutes more.
Meanwhile, combine yogurt, curry powder, cumin and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add to the pan along with the tofu and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
