Vegan Matar Paneer

== Description ==
Paneer is soft white "farmer" cheese that is commonly used in India. I substituted reduced-fat White Wave tofu, and it takes the place of paneer very well. This takes about ½ hour to make. 
== Ingredients ==
* rice
* 1 brick tofu
* 2 tsp gram flour (chickpea flour, besan)
* water (enough) to make a thin, smooth paste
* 1 family size package of frozen green peas
* 1 cup of ground tomatoes or tomato purée
* juice of one lemon
=== Sauce ===
* 1 onion, sliced very thinly
* 1 tsp pressed garlic
* 1 cup water
* 1 tsp ginger
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1 tsp coriander
* ½ tsp clove
* ¼ tsp methi (fenugreek)
* 1 tsp salt
== Directions ==
# Start some rice.
# Cut 1 brick tofu into cubes and bake in 300°F oven while you prepare sauce. 
=== Sauce ===
# Sauté the onion and garlic in your favorite medium until browned.
# Add spices to onion/garlic at last minute of saute.
# Stir until distributed and then add water.
# Mix the gram flour with water and make a thin, smooth paste.
# Add frozen peas to the sauce, and cook until hot.
# Dribble in the chickpea flour mixture, while stirring.
# The sauce will thicken.
# Add tomatoes or tomato puree and lemon juice.
# Stir, adjust seasonings.
# Add tofu and simmer until it absorbs some of the seasonings.
# Add more water if necessary.
# Serve with rice.
