1. In medium pot over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon vegan margerine and add the cayenne pepper or chilies and spinach. A pound of spinach may sound like a lot, but it cooks down dramatically.
2. When the spinach is wilted, let it cool (you can add ice cubes if you're in a rush) and blend it in the food processor. Mix in tomato paste. If tomatoes are in season, boil and mash a fresh tomato instead of using tomato paste. Set aside.
3. Dry roast the cashews. Then blend the cashews to a fine powder in a food processor. Set aside. Saute the onions in 1 tablespoon of margarine until translucent. Add in the ginger, cilantro, garlic, turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
4. Cook for a few minutes. Add in the wilted spinach, tomato and cashew powder. Mix well and salt to taste. Top with tofu cubes (raw or fried). Serve with rice, rotis, or naan.
