Spinach Tofu Stir Fry

Don't you think, will you not agree? This is such an attractive, healthy, power packing and so tempting side dish (Beans Thoran, Red Cabbage Thoran, Chloe Masala, Chilli AlooEggplant Tikka Masala & Tapioca Stir Fry)? Spinach Tofu Stir Fry. I don't know about you, I was over the moon and over the hill and over cloud nine after I made this vegetarian side dish and after tucking in, we all at home agreed. We felt as though we are in a non-boring vegetarian food zone (Turmeric Tomato Soup, Cucumber Yogurt Salad, Cauliflower Fritters, Kurkuri BhindiIndian Style Mustard Greens, & Plantain Crumble). Of course. I mean, are you not drooling? You should. Otherwise, I rest my case. Whatever. Spinach and Tofu stir fried alongside garlic and cumin seeds, omit chillies for kid friendliness (Bitter Gourd, Aloo Gobi, Mor Kulumbu, Creamy Coconut Lentil Curry & Mor Rasam).  

Ingredients
1 bunch (about 400g) spinach - discard roots, rinse and cut into 1 inch length
1 packet (about 300g) white hard tofu - cut into bite size pieces
1-2 red chillies - remove seeds and slice thinly
10 garlic - smashed
1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
Squeeze of lemon/lime juice
2 tbsp of oil
Salt for taste

Method:
When oil is heated, saute garlic.
Add cumin seeds and tofu pieces.
Stir and cook till tofu becomes brown on the edges
Add spinach and sliced chillies.
Drizzle lemon/lime juice over and season with salt.
Stir for a couple of minutes prior to dishing out.
