Easy Vegetable Bhuna

Step 1

Fry the onion and chillies off in 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil for 15-20 minutes, continually stirring them. The onions should brown quite nicely, but don’t let them burn. Start on a high heat then reduce down to medium.

Step 2

Next, blend the tomatoes with the tomato puree until smooth, it should be a thick mixture. Like a smoothie.

Step 3

Pop in the garlic, ginger and chillies with the onion, still over a medium heat. Stir well.

Step 4

Then add all of the spices and the chopped tofu, and make sure everything is nicely coated. Cook for 1 minute, to allow for the spices to become fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the tomato mixture and 100ml water.

Step 6

Simmer for 10 mins (uncovered), to allow the sauce to thicken and reduce.

Step 7

Pop in the chopped pepper and cook for 5 minutes more.

Step 8

Wilt in the spinach and then season with a generous amount of salt. Serve and enjoy!
