Can anyone reccomend a good vegan Matar Panneer recipe?

Question

I LOVE Indian food, and I'm a Vegan. I recently had Matar Paneer (I wasn't told that Paneer was cheese until AFTER I ate it... believe me, my body new it was cheese and gave me h**l for it later)

I would love to replicate the dish using something to replace the cheese, like tofu, maybe.

Does anyone have a good recipe they'd be willing to share?

Answer 1

get silken tofu or get soya milk and mix it with lemon juice

here the vegetarian recipe

Ingredients

14 ounces paneer cut into chunks (homemade — use included recipe) or Nanak brand)

15 cashew nuts soaked in water for one hour

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 medium onion chopped fine

1 tablespoon garlic/ginger paste or 3 garlic cloves, mashed

1 piece fresh ginger, size of a walnut, minced

1 large tomato, chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon red chili powder

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1/4 cup water

3 cups fresh shelled green peas or 1 package frozen peas

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

In a food processor or blender, grind the tomatoes, cashew nuts and dry spices together.

In a wok or heavy skillet, fry the paneer chunks in hot oil until all sides are golden. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside to drain on a paper towel. In remaining oil, sauté £hopped onion until it begins to turn brown. Do not scorch.

Add the garlic/ginger paste and fry for 2 minutes. Then add the tomato-cashew nut-masala mixture and let it fry on medium heat until the oil separates. (Note: If the sauce is lumpy, pureé ©t in a blender, return the pureé ´o the pot and continue with the next step.)

Add the paneer, salt and pepper and peas, and simmer until peas are done.

just replae it with tofu cubes experiment
