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
Keep looking. There's some banger recipes out there. I can't speak for paneer specifically (I've never had it), but vegan cooking and cheese substitutes are getting better all the time. For example, if you want a grilled cheese or quesadilla, you can make a vegan one indistinguishable from the original.
