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

Tofu can be a good paneer substitute but you've gotta mess with it.

Boil in salted water to remove beaniness.
Brine to make a little salty just like paneer.
Coat with a very small amount of starch and fry at low heat to seal. This keeps the brine in.

This will make the tofu neutral and a little salty and have a texture close to paneer.

But otherwise yeah I agree tofu isn't similar enough to cgeese to be a substitute.
