Sounds like a tough dish to veganize, right? Nope! Creating a recipe for vegan matar paneer was actually pretty easy! Tofu makes a great substitute for paneer, and I’ve had success with it in the past in my recipes for vegan saag paneer and vegan chili paneer. As for the creamy sauce, while some versions of matar paneer contain dairy, it’s not actually required. The tomato gravy gets its creamy texture from the same ingredient I use in recipes like cashew cream and vegan mac and cheese: cashews! You’ll be amazed at how decadent and delicious this dairy-free matar paneer is.
