You can’t just replace paneer with tofu and call a dish palak paneer you twat. Like replacing black beans with lentils and calling it black bean soup IT’S NOT THE SAME AND DOESN’T TASTE THE SAME.
I swear half the reason people hate veganism is the fucking half assed garbage cooking content put out by vegan incluencers.
‘Hi today I’m going to make a yummy vegan grilled cheese sandwich but instead of cheese I’m GOING TO USE FUCKING ELMER’S GLUE’ And This doesn’t just go for cheese
I was agreeing with your title but then I opened the post and I gotta disagree on this specific recipe. The paneer/tofu sub results in some pretty dank dishes.
No, I’m sorry. Ok, maybe you can make it taste really good. But don’t call it palak paneer because it probably doesn’t taste remotely the same. The texture of the ‘paneer’ or tofu in this instance, the consistency of the plate… it’s all different. Use a different, more appropriate ingredient than tofu, have some respect for the dish.
oh so you didn’t even try
paneer doesn’t have a strong taste, and the texture is similar to firm tofu. marinate your tofu with some lemon juice and fry it in vegan butter, drop it into your palak and it’s just like your tit juice tofu. but better, because it’s beans.
no more half measures walter
I agree with you in no small part because it’s just not a good way to use Tofu IMO.
You may disagree but even just using like cashew butter and/or chick pea flour would probably be better and more authentic.
