LEARN HOW TO MAKE AN EASY AND QUICK VEGETARIAN PALAK TOFU RECIPE TODAY!
LAY HO MA (how's it going in Cantonese)! This is hands down one of the best ways to eat those greens! Join me in this episode and learn how to make an easy and quick spiced creamed spinach (palak tofu) recipe today!
Ingredients:
3 pieces garlic
1 long green chili pepper
1 onion
1 medium piece ginger
1 tomato
350g extra firm tofu
2 tbsp + 1 tsp avocado oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
300g spinach
1 cup coconut cream
Directions:
1. Roughly chop the garlic and long green chili pepper. Dice the onion, ginger, and tomato. Pat dry the extra firm tofu with a paper towel, then slice into bite sized cubes
2. Heat up a sauté pan to medium heat. Add 2 tbsp avocado oil followed by the cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Fry the seeds for about 45 seconds. Add the onions, ginger, garlic, green chili, and salt. Sauté for 5-7mins. Add the turmeric, garam masala, and ground coriander. Give the pan a good stir
3. Add the tomatoes and sauté for 3-4mins. Add a good handful of the spinach and stir to wilt them down. As the spinach wilts, add more spinach and repeat until all the spinach is done
4. Add the coconut cream and give the pan a good stir. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on medium for about 20 seconds (careful not to blend too high or it will turn into soup)
5. Heat up the pan back to medium heat and add 1 tsp avocado oil followed by the extra firm tofu. Sear the tofu for a few minutes, then turn the heat off and allow the pan to cool for a minute. Pour in the creamed spinach and give the pan a good stir. Plate and serve with rice or naan (or both!)

@@YEUNGMANCOOKING Thank you, Sir! I wish to receive this free book and buy another cook book you have authored. Will you be kind enough to let me know what I need to do? Thank you.

Votre livre existe T’il en langue française ??
Hi Will, greetings from India. You made this look delicious and easy to make , especially since Indian dishes can look daunting sometimes with the number of steps. I like how you adapt different world cuisines to your unique style . Your videos are a pleasure to watch.
Many cuisines have many steps...you can't make dish with one step or two unless it ready frozen meals
@ssri1675 The frozen meal comment was unnecessary. Traditional palak paneer has many steps, but this is a faster version is what the person was referring, too.
Adapt?? Adapted what??? That’s literally how Palak Paneer is made! Are you even from India? Do you even know anything about Indian food?!
@@samiyrah4244
What many more steps are you talking about?? Do list!
You can make Palak paneer with far lesser steps.
Blanch spinach for 5-10 min, store that water, put spinach in ice cold water for 10 min post blanching . Then make puree, puree consistency is your own take on it.
In pan take oil , then some cumin till light crackle, I don’t like flavour of full crackle. You decide your take. Then put crushed garlic , cook it well , then add spinach purée in it , cook it. Now put diced paneer cubes in warm water for couple of minutes and then mix with spinach purée, cook for some time, add salt, chilly powder and initial water left from spinach blanching. Boil for sometime and it is ready. Add dried fenugreek leaves for added flavour.
It is light version and I prefer it more.

I made this tonight, following his instructions exactly and it got rave reviews from my family. Definitely making this again. Excellent. BTW, I garnished with roasted cashews and it added a nice touch.
Spinach is Bullshit =>
You are the only one I "thumb up" before I even watch the video. I'm doing it WITH CONFIDENCE because you never disappoint. Even my toddler eats what you cook
You rock 🙌🏻😎
For anyone with sensitivity to soy this recipe is SO good with potatoes!
Thanks! More carbs, for those days when nothing will do but potatoes. Perfect.😊❤
or selfmade tofu from lentils!
@@ktf585 that sounds yum!
Even chickpeas.
Or cottage cheese.
I just made it yesterday and it was really good. I made some little adjustments, like adding some spices and salt to the fried tofu, as well as adding some lemon juice to the finished dish. Thank you again for this great recipe. 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it! It’s great to hear you’re adding your own flair!
Thanks for pleasant and non-intrusive soundtrack, as well as the healthful recipes.
I am eating this dish as I type. I used a whole container of tofu 1lb (454 g), so used more spinach and spices to adjust to the volume. The only thing I didn't have on hand was fennel seeds and used regular coconut milk, but even with these changes it is really tasty.
That's wonderful to hear - glad it's so tasty! 🙌🏻🥳
Wszystko co przygotujesz jest doskonałe.
“Plate generously” my favorite step :)
Plate greedily?
😌
Right. XD
I just made this (changing out the avocado oil for your delicious chili oil) and it is just as you described. Glossy delicious and aromatic. Yum-my. I didn’t have enough spinach so I used mustard greens and dandelion greens. It gave it an earthiness that I think you would appreciate. Many thanks for another gorgeous home made dish.
Great vegan “spin” on palaak paneer. Absolutely delicious and great with tofu. Perfect meld of ingredients. I threw in about a quart cup of nutritional flakes for a bit of “cheesy” umami. Very tasty and definitely in the rotation now. Thanks Wil. You rock.
多謝你嘅好意！
I cooked this today and substituted Shallops in place of Garlic, because my teenager can't handle garlic. It is delicious! Better than anything I could ever get in a restaurant. This is sure to become a regular dish in our household. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Blanch spinach for 30 seconds in 8 cups water with teaspoon of baking powder to give spinach a brilliant green color. I also use 150 gm spinach and 150 gm kale. I serve it with farro to increase fiber and add some protein.
His spinach already looks vibrant green. Do you want it to turn fluo?😂
Do you use baby kale or regular? And how did it turn out?
Thank you for that tip.
Baking powder or baking soda?
Try mustard greens instead of kale.
Hi from India, your channel popped up randomly and I am loving the way you cook, so neat and precise. What I love the most is you mentioning the portions of the cooked items. A big shout out to you for that, coz I’ve never seen any cooking channels doing that ❤️
So glad you're enjoying the channel! 😊
I want to give you props not only are your recipes delicious and healthy but your professionalism and the way you carry yourself throughout the entire RUclips video is immaculate. You're doing a great job. Keep it up 😊
You're too kind! Happy to be cooking together 🙌🏻☺️
I love how you explain slowly allowing followers to cook along with you. This recipe looks wonderful!
Wow Will! I just finished making this recipe. I've attempted making Palak a handful of times in the past and have no idea what I was doing wrong, because it was never anywhere close to being this good! All the spices just sing thru the mix in such a nice way. The tomatoes added just the right amount of tangy sweetness to the background, and the chili (I used Serrano), was just the perfect amount of warmth to leave you wanting more.
1 Change I had to make because I forgot to grab coconut cream, was I used regular coconut milk. To get the consistency (in a reasonable time), I took one of our 25.36oz containers of the coconut milk I had on hand and boiled/simmered it down until it looked like the consistency needed.
The thing that I’ve always liked about your videos, and who h makes you stand out compared to any other cook online or on tv, is the way you give the description of all the different features of the dish when you taste it at the end, I love the myriad of different adjectives you are able to use ☺️
High protein and greens! What a win!!!!
Agreed 😎
slave food
Would be great, control freak of a husband buys processed rubbish and calls the shots I haven't got money to get taxi away
Watching u cooking is very Zen like, peaceful & calm! Thank you for sharing ur skills with us:)
So glad you're finding it relaxing! 😊
I usually order this from an Indian restaurant, Came across this video and added my lil twist to it and there was a party in my mouth! My family can't get enough! Thanks for the demonstration
🙌🏻🥳 So glad to hear
I made this yesterday, the best Palak tofu I eat. I air frier the tofu first for few minutes to dry it out a bit before frying in the oil, the texture at the end was exactly like paneer, a bit chewy like the real think, love it. Thank you for this.
Thank you, Wil, for this amazing Palak Tofu recipe!
As a vegetarian I'm a big fan of the original Palak Paneer. And this is just as good!
I used the 365, (Whole Foods brand), firm tofu . As it's almost exactly the same texture of paneer.
Fabulous recipe that is now on my meal rotation! 🙏
I love watching you cook, it brings us right down to earth in troubled times ,yah❤
My favorite Indian dish is palak paneer. I have not yet tried to make it yet. this looks definitely doable. Unfortunately, I have to limit soy. I'm ok with paneer though, so I would do everything but the tofu. I like the coconut cream. That's a great substitute.
I made this tonight with naan... so good. Thank you for another great recipe.
And the best part? My husband won't touch tofu so it is all for me 😊
Omg! Omg!!! You are right, the aroma is out of this world, my neighbors s good smell it!! Lol!! The only thing I did wrong, I add a full can of coconut cream, instead of a cup. (Gonna make this again) Other than that, it was delicious. Thank you for sharing!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lay Ho Lay Ho.驚奇 驚奇 !! As an Indian loved seeing this.
Happy to hear you enjoyed 🙌🏻
Been making it this way for years. Paneer has more texture than flavor, so Tofu easily subs in and is virtually indistinguishable in the final plate. I cut the tofu block into planks about 3/4" thick and lay on baking sheet lined with tea towel, fold over top, place a 2nd sheet on top and weight down. Removing some of the excess water makes space to soak up more sauce.
Tofu is, imo, the best substitute for those of us who r lactose intolerant.
Good paneer should have a creamy dairy flavor.
I must say your voice is so calming and relaxing. Another great recipe 😋
Greetings Will, you rock! I love your voice because it flows so easily with your recipes, it’s so easy to follow you step by step.
Thank you for sharing.
YMC never lets you down!!! Absolute confidence.
This is also one of my favorite dishes ever! I have never made it with fennel seeds, however, and will have to try it.
Great recipe, one of ny favorites. I like to use frozen spinach though because it is way cheaper, better for storage and doesn't impact the quality... Fresh spinach I usually only use in salads and the like 😊
Great tip!
the greens almost like a curry from scratch, yum.
i will try this one for sure, looks amazing and i love almost creamed spinach
Stay warm and happy holidays from Montreal Quebec
I love your recipes and even though sometimes I don't have all the ingredients, they are still delicious. Greetings from a subscriber from Mexico 🇲🇽
Coming up with good substitutions is part of the fun. 😊
As a non-vegan and Mexican myself, I sometimes substitute with meat proteins like chicken or shrimp. I also use different chiles like serranos, or the chili oil from a "salsa macha" instead. In the end, Wil's recipes are a work of art, both in taste and looks that are very adaptable!
I am inspired by your knife skills. Impeccable technique. Worthy of study.
This is an awesome recipe! I made it today for a rare Sunday lunch. The only thing I would change is to press the tofu. I had it frozen and thawed, but the extra step of pressing would have helped.
This would be an easy weeknight meal, especially if you prep the aromatics ahead of time!
Greetings from Thailand. Awesome recipe! Thank you for your wonderful content. 😊
Made it tonight. Easy and delicious! Even my wife, who doesn't normally eat Indian-style food, enjoyed it. We're definitely looking forward to making it again. 👍
That's wonderful to hear! 😊
Damn - I'm 74 years old & consider myself a good cook - how did I NOT know how to leave the end on the onion when chopping!?!? THANKS!! YOU ROCK!!! ❣️😉
Thank you again. I have made this recipe many times now and still keep coming back to it. A couple of times I didn't feel like blending the sauce and the meal worked out just fine; just more textures to enjoy.
I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I love all Will’s recipes.
My first video! This looks amazing! Can’t wait to make it!
Let me know how it turns out! 😊
Made it tonight and it’s was amazing!
Thank you 😊
🙌🏻 Glad you enjoyed it!
Even better with mustard greens. Great rendition of a classic dish.
Will....You've pulled me into the kitchen again!! I had to hook this recipe up, it's simple and as you described it, delicious. I chose to serve it over brown basmati rice, which is a stand alone on its own, in addition to plating it with seared sable fish. You have a gift, keep on inspiring Us. A shot out to you🎉🎉😊
I love watching your beautiful videos! The photography is top notch and your voice is so calming. I made this recipe tonight for dinner. It was delicious!!! It's been added to my saved recipes to make again in the near future. Thank you so much!
Gosh i just made this recipe! I wish i could taste yours…. Mine came out so-so at first and then i added more salt and it was MUCH better!!!! I love your recipes and always appreciate MORE delicious veggie recipes! Thank you!
Besides the dish - loved the little plug about the book, done so elegantly! thanks for the recipe - just got the fresh tofu😋
Cheers 🙌🏻🥳
I made this yesterday, it did not disappoint. Delicious! A new favourite, thank you 😊
Glad you liked it! 🙌🏻
Wow, Wil! How did you know that palak paneer and palak tofu were my very favourites!!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!! Gotta LOVE YOU!!❤❤❤❤❤
😎 Great minds think alike
Absolutely!❣️🌹🙏

Just made it. Awesome! Thanks so much for your simple, delicious & healthy greens recipe!
My pleasure 🙌🏻😎 Cheers!
Another excelent recipe, thank you and greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷
Wow Wil, this looks incredible! It’s on my “to make list” and your 4th cookbook is on my to buy list!
I have a frozen meal that I buy myself twice a week. It makes my mouth water thinking about it. I cannot wait to taste this recipe beautifully fresh with so many of my favorite ingredients. Thank you very much for sharing.
Just discovered you! And just made and loved this recipe- just delicious! Have been vegan, vegetarian, paleo you name it and now just all around omnivore.
Great way to get back to more greens- will be getting your cookbooks!!
Welcome to the flavor party! 🙌🏻 Excited for you to cook up some more recipes
That definitely looks amazing 🤩 my mouth is watering 😋 thank you so much for sharing 🙌
My pleasure 😊
I make this for my son, not that he needs his greens disguised but it goes so well with our Indian flatbreads.
In India we make this recipe with cottage cheese cubes. Over here, the cheese is replaced with tofu which has the same texture.
Expert@ Awesome Yeung Man cooking!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Oh wowza! 😍 You are the best 🙌🏻
I made this tonight - an absolute winner 🏆 Soooooooo delicious 😋😋😋
So glad you loved it! 🙌🏻
This one's a real banger. Keep 'em coming.
I didn't have any tofu so I used a mixture of lightly steamed cauliflower and butter beans, it was delicious.
Sorry, I also meant to say I added the juice of half a lemon which also improved the flavour.
Sounds great!
I usually make saag/palak chana/chickpeas, but replacing the paneer w/ tofu is a great idea!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Chickpeas - great idea!!!
I'm a newbie absolutely love his show..
Welcome! 🙌🏻
What beautiful videos you make. You describe the recipe with words that one can almost “taste” it. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love this recipe! I would suggest to use organic spinach however, because they spray greens heavily in many places. Best to grow yourself or purchase at Farmers' Markets or from farmers' themselves. Great recipe! Thanks!
What a great dish. You are a master of presentation. Love your vegan recipes. Thank you.
In health. Professor-Elizabeth
Looks amazing... perhaps for dinner this Sunday.... Yum
You won't regret it! 😋
what a beautiful video, love the music, love the dish, love it!
Glad you liked it! 😊
OMG I just made this and it is AMAZING. Better than what I’ve eaten at restaurants. Thank you so much Wil. ❤️
I’m so glad you loved it! 🙌🏻
Love tofu palak and this is the best recipe I've seen, thanks Will 🎉❤
Best indeed. Looks good with pasta. Thank you for sharing 😊 more power and God bless always Mr chef 🙏
This is so beautifully filmed that my eyes were watering during the first 3 ingredients! then followed with ooo's and and!...
We’re going to barbs & Noble to buy your cooking book We❤love your cooking channel instructions! Thank You were going to try it before buying your cook book
I eat a LOT of tofu and am constantly looking for good recipes. I made this and it is really good. I had it with rice. I did freeze some, and it made it a bit more watery, but it was fine when I reheated it.
Will I made this last week and it was simply AMAZING! So good. Going to make it again either today or tomorrow! thanks for the great recipe and video!!
So glad you loved it! 🙌🏻
Looks delicious!!!! Making this week!!!! 👏🤞🙏🏼
Happy cooking! 😎
Really enjoy watching how you cut everything! Thanks so much for the excellent recipes!
I thought this was palak paneer. But having the mixture with tofu instead of cheese sounds delightful! ❤
Me too! Actually the cheese one makes me nauseous (dairy thing) sometimes so I’m excited to try this!! ☺️
I have tried palak Tofu but for some reason I prefer palak paneer. 😊
I thought that too. or like saag paneer
I thought this too! 👍
Paneer is not cheese
Thank you for yet another great dish ! 👏🏻😋
My pleasure 😊
Wow, you certainly don't fail to amaze me. I love spinach and I love tofu. I would have never thought of combining those spices with spinach and tofu. Naan and white rice are some of my fave accompaniments so I'm looking forward to making this recipe of yours. Thanks for sharing!!
Hope you enjoy 🙌🏻
Thank you! I've been looking for a vegan version of this I can enjoy ❤ I am making this today for sure
You are in for a treat! 🙌🏻
Hi Wil what a surprise seeing you again not to mention your great scrumptious meals y so healthy. Thanks Chef. 😊❤bb
We made this for lunch today. My new favorite way to eat greens. Incredible!!!!
Wooo! Love to hear that 🥳
I love the little pieces of ginger that way. It's my favorite way to add them to most dishes.
Oh man, I am trying this tonight! Looks sooo good. Thank you!!
Enjoy! 🙌🏻
Looks fantastic, @yeungmancooking! Reminds me of vegan squid luau, a popular Hawaiian dish made with luau leaves. 😋 mahalo from Maui! I love your recipes
Oh wow! That sounds delicious 🙌🏻
Interesting blessing for your work
I cannot wait to make it this week. Thanks Will!
Enjoy! 😎
✋🏽love his cooking. Always watch his videos. It was recommended by my son and daughter in law. ❤
Made this a number of times, love it! Tofu is a lot cheaper than paneer! Hubby loves it too.
Great recipe. You are organized and cook clean. Coconut cream apparently also slows down discoloration of spinach. Retaining the luscious green color under heat had always been a little tricky.
