Tofu, paneer and spinach curry

Earlier in the week, I posted a recipe for a yummy tandoori naan ‘pizza’, so here’s a lovely complementary dish.

It’s a spinach, tofu and paneer curry with a mild, salty flavour and a texture not that dissimilar to chicken (I’m told).

It will feed four if served with the ‘pizza’, some boiled rice and a dollop of plain yoghurt.
