Tofu Palak Paneer by darylo

Tofu Palak Paneer

Recipe for Inspiration ONLY; I did not follow it much at all in terms of method, so if you feel inspired, you may want to look for other tofu Palak Paneer recipes: https://rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-palak-paneer-with-tofu/

The spices I used today are here: https://365project.org/darylo/2021/2021-02-14

This was also not vegan as I used fat free greek yogurt in the sauce and in the presentation of the dish. I have followed the recipe before for the boiled tofu method (my preferred method), however, the spinach sauce is way too garlicy. And this time I did not blanch the spinach--that's a waste of nutrients. So please don't try unless you know what Palak Paneer should be like! There are lots of recipes out there with actual paneer (which I would love, but um, diet), so this is a good second, and my husband liked it as his Valentine's meal! We combined it with some brown long rice (steamed).

This is outside before it got really dark, so yes, a tripod is everything these days!

A terrific composition and a very colorful shot!

Oh, so tasty! You have such talent for food photos but also for creative recipes!

@jgpittenger Jane, I omitted the cashews (even though I do have them) and I used yogurt instead. If you want, you can also use soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk if you want it creamy. The one time I made it with cashews, it didn't do anything for it honestly!

@jakb haha! I have been cooking a long time and used to have a catering business and I was (in a former life) a recipe tester for a famous southern chef. I can say it has made my Covid life more interesting at least, and I look forward to using my creative cooking skills!

@grammyn Thanks so much Katy! The cloth is from my travels in Bali--what, almost 6 years ago!

@linnypinny The cloth is from Bali, and it brings back such fond memories. Thanks!

@jamibann I wish I had some sort of "light kit" as I have to use the natural light and honestly, it was almost dark outside before snapping this.

@darylo Oh yes I remember that trip!
