Directions
Description - Step 1
Prepare Spinach Puree
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until the leaves wilt. Drain and cool them in cold water to retain colour. Blend with green chilli into a smooth puree. This step gives the curry its creamy texture and rich green hue.

Make the Curry Base
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add ginger and garlic, sautéing until aromatic. Mix in onions and cook until soft and translucent. Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, and salt. Stir well and cook until the masala releases oil from the sides.

Cook the Palak Gravy
Pour in the spinach puree and mix until it blends with the onion-tomato masala. Add about half a cup of water to adjust the thickness. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes on low heat so the flavours come together. Make sure not to overcook the spinach.

Add Tofu and Finish
Lightly pan-fry tofu cubes in a separate pan until golden on the edges for a subtle crisp texture. Add them to the spinach gravy, sprinkle garam masala, and simmer for two more minutes. Turn off the heat and let the curry rest for a few minutes before serving.

Prepare Multigrain Rotis
In a mixing bowl, combine wheat, jowar, bajra, and ragi flours. Add salt and oil. Gradually pour warm water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Rest for 10 minutes. Divide into small balls, roll thin, and cook on a hot tawa until golden brown on both sides. Brush lightly with oil or ghee if preferred.
