Red Lentil & Tofu "Paneer"

The tofu in this recipe acts as a delicious, cheap, nutritious, vegan substitute for paneer and does a damn fine job at it. Paneer is an Indian fresh cheese that is delicate and mild in flavor- it adds richness and density to traditional dishes. No doubt that its tasty and serves a purpose but here it is seamlessly replaced- you have my word that it will not be missed. I used tofu alongside red lentils and a myriad of spices, making a gorgeously seasoned Indian dish. Eat it atop rice or accompanied with warm naan bread. Its beautifully simple & quick to put together- the result being an entree that is surprisingly so very good. As soon as I had a bite I knew that this was something that I would be preparing time and time again. I paired it with a cool cucumber & avocado salad and garnished the whole thing with fresh cilantro. Get the recipe
