- Chuck the tofu in a large bowl, add the curry powder and kala namak, then give it a good stir until all the tofu pieces are coated.
- Add a splash of oil to a frying pan, bring up to a medium heat, add the tofu and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown then set the tofu to one side until later.
- Put the cashews (along with the water they were soaking in) into a blender, as well as another 120ml (1/2 cup) water and a couple of handfuls of spinach – blend, and then keep adding handfuls of spinach until you’ve blended it all and the mixture is smooth.
- Get the frying pan back over a medium heat, add another splash of oil then add the onion and cook until translucent.
- Throw in the garlic and spices, then cook for another couple of minutes until fragrant.
