By itself, this paneer doesn't have a lot of taste but it is cheesy in its own way. I'd definitely prefer it saltier. This is my very first time cooking an Indian dish from scratch - palak paneer - and I'm so proud of how it turned out! I was put off from cooking Indian food myself due to the amount of spices which I do not have, but I managed this with garam masala at home. While not very flavourful the cheese goes really well in this dish that I've hardly got to eat since going vegan, and I love palak which is healthy and delicious. I divided the 200g pack into 2 meals and there was a generous amount of cheese for each. It looks and tastes a little bit like tofu but it isn't. My mum said that the cheese tastes much healthier than regular cheese with all the salt. Ate the palak paneer with store bought naan.

I had high hopes for this vegan paneer. Upon opening it, I was not impressed by the first sniff - smelled like strong tofu. I gave it a taste. It is crumbly, pasty, and yet dry. No good taste at all. I thought it would be more creamy for how much fat is in it! I added a bit of a marinade to make it a little more cheesy - some water, nutritional yeast, salt, rice vinegar. I did the same for some tofu. I sautéed both separately. The tofu cooked as usual and was delicious. This stuff stuck to the pan more, crumbled apart when I wasn’t careful enough, and it didn’t get a tasty crust like tofu does, it just kind of dried up on the outside. Didn’t taste much better than before. I made a palak paneer curry and added both this and the tofu to it. Though my tofu was a bit on the soft side, it tasted much better than this vegan paneer. The paneer remained dry tasting, yet pasty and crumbly. Even if I could not eat soy, I would not bother buying this again. Unpleasant.

I wanted to like this more and perhaps I just prepared it poorly, but I didn’t really like it. The texture is comparable to actual paneer. When prepared with curry, it absorbed the flavor of the sauce mostly. It tasted a lot like firm tofu though and I had to really season it. I think I was expecting it to taste more like actual cheese paneer. It felt like just cooking with firm tofu. I also don’t like that it comes in plastic packaging. #veganisnotscary

I figured I could lazily attempt some palak paneer with this but 😐 while my palak actually came out alright (even with me using a handmixer instead of grounding it properly), the paneer was just bad. Well ok not bad, but it just tasted like firm tofu? Nothing cheesy or paneer about it at all 🤧 Unfortunately HerbYvore has been about the most disappointing vegan cheese brand I’ve come across. #dobetter #fail #veganin2021
