Plant Palak Paneer

Creamy or leafy? Big question from our last live! I love creamy, hubby prefers leafy. That’s marriage! 🙂

No setter how you prefer the important thing is that you should try this recipe out and taste the amazing mild spiced flavors that come from it. 

OBS: If you don’t want to use tofu(I really think you should) you can use panisse or vegan feta instead.

  • 400g Tofu firm, cut in cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
