Saag Paneer

Slow Cooker Saag Paneer

6 medium or 4 large garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp minced (or grated) ginger (can sub 1 t dried, if necessary)
3 medium yellow tomatoes, chopped
1 Tbsp garam masala
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (if desired)
1 can low fat coconut milk
2 16 oz. bags frozen spinach (or 3 10 oz. boxes), thawed
1 bag fresh baby spinach
1 container of extra firm tofu, cubed into 1/2" squares

Place all ingredients except the fresh spinach and tofu into your slow cooker, stir well to combine, cover, and cook on low for 4 hours. Pulse with an immersion blender (or transfer to a regular blender in small batches), until everything is well mixed and slightly creamy. Add fresh spinach and tofu, and cook for another hour on low. Serve over fragrant rice (I like jasmine rice with a pinch of turmeric and cardamom), and enjoy!
