I opted for fresh spinach in this recipe. I don't care for "mushy" spinach, so blanched the spinach enough to soften but not over cook. I also didn't add the yogurt, I used 1/2 cup of miso base and 1 cup vegetable broth. With this small change it added tons of flavor. Also added some fresh bean sprouts blanched witht the spinach for some crunch. Thank you for another way to cook tofu. Made for Every Day is a Holiday.

My favorite part about this is how healthy it is. I used thawed/drained frozen spinach, which seemed to work fine. My only complaint is that it's a little bit bland (oh, I did only add one chili, but even if I had added more that would have just been heat, and I needed more flavor). I ended up adding a good bit of salt, which I would have preferred not to do. The texture was great, the color was beautiful, the tofu is a nice substitute for paneer and the recipe was easy. I served this over spiced long-grain brown rice with naan, chutney and raitha. Thanks so much Debbwl, I'll use it again and tweak the spices. Reviewed for PAC 2009.
