Hearty Chickpea Masala with Fresh Spinach
A vibrant, aromatic chickpea masala enriched with cubes of firm tofu and fresh spinach, simmered in a tomato-based spice blend. This dish offers a hearty yet light medley of flavors that sautés quickly to perfection – a comforting meal that’s both nourishing and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups Cooked Chickpeas (approx. 205g)
150 grams Firm Tofu
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (no salt added)
0.5 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
1 tablespoon Spice Mix (Cumin, Turmeric, Garam Masala)
PREPARATION
Heat the coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing until the onions become translucent and aromatic.
Stir in the spice mix (cumin, turmeric, garam masala) and allow it to bloom for about 30 seconds, releasing its fragrant oils.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the spices and aromatics.
Gently fold in the cooked chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly coated with the tomato-spice mixture.
Crumble the firm tofu into cubes and add it to the skillet, stirring lightly to integrate without breaking the tofu.
Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes, so that it retains its vibrant color and nutrients.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve warm as a hearty, balanced meal.
