Palak tofu (Spinach & Tofu) is my version of Palak paneer. Palak Paneer is a spinach and paneer (Indian cheese) dish that my husband and kiddos love, and I mean L-O-V-E!!

I on the other hand have a bit of a love-hate relationship with dairy so I worked hard to create a version of my hubbys childhood favorites that we could both enjoy!

Drum roll please... I present to you Palak Tofu! I swapped that standard paneer for tofu and the heavy cream for coconut milk.

I like to eat this vegan friendly dish with rice or quinoa, the husband prefers roti. Add a side of greens, red onions and my dear, you have yourself a meal!

If you would like to use paneer, you can make it yourself with my recipe here.

XO,

Bobbielee
