Instructions
Make tofu paneer:
- Mix together the lemon juice, water, salt, and nutritional yeast in a glass bowl.
- Chop tofu into 1⁄2 inch cubes and add to lemon juice mixture and stir well. Set aside and let marinate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400. Pour the tofu mixture on a baking sheet and spread out so none of them are touching each other. Bake tofu for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned and crispy on edges.
Make the cashew cream:

- Place the cashews and water in a food processor or blender and blend until pureed totally smooth.
Make Saag:
- Bring 1 1⁄2 cups of water to boil in a large pan. Add spinach and place lid on top. Cook spinach for 2-3 minutes and then stir and cook another 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted and cooked.
- Transfer to a food processor with the water and puree until smooth.
- Chop the onion and poblano pepper and set aside.
- Heat a large pan until hot. Once hot, add oil, chopped onion and chopped peppers. Saute for 6-8 minutes until the onion is brown and tender.
- Add the ginger and garlic and stir well. Cook another 1-2 minutes until browned and fragrant.
- Add the garam masala, cumin, coriander, and pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
