[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago I started substituting paneer for tofu for a lot of recipes for my kids (we are vegetarians). Paneer has more calories and fat but also a lot more protein, so for my kids the switch gives more bang for the buck. Sometimes I'll make the same basic dish (like stir-fried noodles with vegetables) and use diced tofu for the adult plates and paneer for the kids. You can prepare them both pretty much the same way so it's an easy swap and my kids don't seem to have a preference either way.[/quote]

Where do you get paneer? Does it taste similar to mozzarella? [/quote]

It's available at a lot of larger grocery stores but I consistently find it at Costco in larger sizes. I wouldn't say it tastes like mozzarella, it's more like mild than that and definitely more firm. I prepare it the same way I do tofu (but you don't need to press or drain it). [/quote]

Huh. Indian here. I get subbing tofu for paneer but not the other way around. Paneer has a distinct taste and to me not one that blends with all types of dishes. [/quote]
