With the coriander in this dish, the stalks and any roots are cooked down with ginger and garlic, while the leaves are blended raw into the sauce.

 

Instructions

1

Strain and dice the tofu into 2 cm cubes. Toss with the tofu rub. Gently mix and allow to marinate, while you preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden.

2

Rinse the rice, then add one and a half times the amount of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook for 12 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Allow to sit covered for another 5 minutes before serving.

Remove the core and dice the tomatoes.

 

3

Mince the garlic and ginger.

Remove the coriander leaves from the stalk. Finely chop the stalk and any root.

Dice the onion. Then sweat in a medium pot for 2 minutes. Add ginger, garlic and the coriander stalk, cook for another minute.

Add tomatoes and spinach to the pot with a good pinch of salt.

 

4

Next add the coconut cream, garam masala, and water, then bring to simmer. If it starts looking dry, add a bit more water. Cook for 5 minutes.

Puree the curry along with the coriander leaves, then transfer back to the pot.

Add the roasted tofu and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Slice the chili.

5

Serve the saag over the rice with lime pickle on the side, sprinkle over some chili if want a little spice.
