what is tofu?,is it a kind of paneer?....and which recipe does it complement..(no googling please)......
Answers
For years, paneer (cottage cheese) has grabbed all the attention as far as vegetarians are concerned. In recent years though, some of this spotlight has shifted to Tofu or Soy paneer which has started to show up on restaurant menus steadily. Paneer is fresh cheese made with cow or goat milk and used frequently in numerous Indian dishes. Tofu, on the other hand, is obtained from soybean milk. Both are exceptional sources of protein, calcium and iron content, all essential for a healthy body. Tofu is a vegan product considering it is not derived from any animal produce. While both can replace each other in cooking, but nutritionally, is one better than another? Curious? We tell you how to make that choice.According to Nutritionist Mehar Rajput from FITPASS, "Tofu and paneer appear similar, even though they are prepared with different types of milk. However, both are nutritionally different from each other; tofu being the healthier alternative to paneer, considering it has low calories and more iron content as compared to cottage cheese. But because tofu has a peculiar taste, most people do not prefer including it their daily diet, which is why paneer tends to get more spotlight."
