How to Prepare Quick and Dirty Palak Tofu [Vegan]

In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the canned spinach, coconut milk and tomato purée and mix. Let it thicken up while preparing the tofu.
Cut the tofu in little cubes and add it in a another hot pan. Season with the Kala Namak. Pan-Fry it for about 5 minutes, stir occasionally.
Add the salt, ginger powder and curry powder to the spinach curry. Taste and add additional spices to your liking.
Once the spinach curry is hot and tastes delicious, add the tofu cubes to the curry and give it a good mix.
Your quick and dirty Palak Tofu is ready to be served!
