I used the spinach curry from my Palak tofu as the sauce for this stew! The greens are blended into the sauce so they can't be picked out, and the puréed greens cooked with spices eliminate the green-y flavor. This stew is a hearty one-pot meal with protein from lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, nuts, or seeds. Serve it with whole grain flatbread or bread for even more protein!



You can make this stew on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot, with instructions for both in the recipe card. I also have step-by-step directions with photos for the stovetop method, which is very similar to the Instant Pot method.



This fragrant, filling, and deeply seasoned stew is perfect for a cozy dinner on a chilly evening!
