I have been doing #meatlessmonday for a few months now. I love doing a meatfree dish every Monday for you, but I also love getting my weekly Meatless Monday email filled with new meatfree recipes. (If you’re interested, you can sign up at meatlessmonday.com.)
I got really excited by today’s email because it had a recipe for spinach tofu curry. Basically, this is a recreation of a famous Indian dish (palak paneer) which is cubes of paneer cheese cooked in a spinach gravy.
I’ve been wanting to try this dish for a LONG time since I really love the spinach gravy and I am frankly not so high on paneer cheese cubes. (Note: there’s nothing wrong with them. They just don’t tickle my fancy.) The good news for me is that firm tofu has about the same texture as the paneer while having a more neutral flavor.
My one contribution is finding a good image of palak paneer. Yes, the above image is one of the prettiest I can find of the spinach gravy dish. Like a lot of Indian dishes, I love the flavor. The visual imagery, however leaves something to be desired.
Still, I wanted to let you know once the gravy looks like baby poop, it’s time to dig in. (I’m actually serious on that one.)

Match Meat Pizza It’s another #MeatlessMonday!! But wait you say, it’s Thursday!
