Method

1
Drain the tofu and cut into quarters. Add the onions, butter, baking soda and garam masala to your slow cooker or oven-safe pot. Cook in your slow cooker for 8 hours on LOW to caramelise. If you don’t have a slow cooker, preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan-forced) and cook, covered, for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the garlic ginger paste, cashews, vegetable stock powder, frozen spinach, passata and 250ml (1 cup) water to the jug of a blender. Blend to combine.
3
Add the spinach mixture and tofu to the onion mixture. Mix well to combine and cook in your slow cooker for a further 4 hours on HIGH. For the oven method, cook, covered, for 30 minutes at 160°C (140°C fan-forced).

Garnish with sliced red chilli and serve warm with flatbread and rice.
