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've seen Indian vegan cooks use tofu as a paneer replacement. Sure, it may not taste exactly, precisely, you-can't-tell-the-difference same, but I think it is kind of stretching it to call it "massacring" the dish. Indian vegans who grew up with palak paneer will try to veganize it so they can enjoy it without the cruelty. It's not that deep.

Also, if vegan influencers put out garbage food then non-vegan ones do too, lol. How many different food influencer videos are there about steak when it's just a slab of flesh that's seasoned with salt and pepper, at the end of the day.
