Tofu Saag with Brown Rice

I recently won a copy of Kim Barnouin's new "Skinny Bitch Ultimate Everyday Cookbook." So for this week I would like to test out some recipes from the book.

I chose to do the tofu saag first because I've never eaten Indian food before. This dish is packed with vitamins and has a really sweet but savory flavor. Although it's mostly made with spinach, feel free to change up the recipe and add mustard greens to it as well.

So far I am liking her new book because I've noticed that all her recipes are simple and quick to make. Next time you're at your local bookstore, stop and take a quick look at this cookbook. I don't think you'll be disappointed : ]
