Spinach and Tofu Paneer
['1 carton firm or soft tofu', 'Salt', '1 large bunch spinach, stems discarded, leaves well washed', '1 jalapeƱo chile, seeded and coarsely chopped', '1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped', '1-inch knob ginger, peeled and diced', '3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped', '1 cup diced onion', '2 tablespoons ghee, butter, or vegetable oil', '1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin', '1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, plus a pinch', '1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper', '1/2 cup half-and-half', '1/3 cup yogurt']
1. Dice the tofu into pieces about the size of a sugar cube or a little smaller. Bring 6 cups water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and lower the heat to a simmer. Add the tofu, turn off the heat, and leave for 4 or 5 minutes. Pour into a colander to drain. (If you've used soft tofu, remove it with a slotted spoon.) Set aside.
2. Steam the spinach until wilted, then remove it to a cutting board and chop. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water.
3. Put the chiles, ginger, garlic, and onion in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Heat the ghee or butter in a nonstick skillet, add the onion mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
4. Add 1 teaspoon salt, the cumin, nutmeg, cayenne, and 1 cup water.Simmer for 5 minutes, then return the mixture to the food processor, add the spinach, and puree.
5. Return the mixture to the skillet, add the half-and-half and the tofu, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the yogurt. Serve over basmati rice.
