You can’t just replace paneer with tofu and call a dish palak paneer you twat. Like replacing black beans with lentils and calling it black bean soup IT’S NOT THE SAME AND DOESN’T TASTE THE SAME.
I swear half the reason people hate veganism is the fucking half assed garbage cooking content put out by vegan incluencers.
‘Hi today I’m going to make a yummy vegan grilled cheese sandwich but instead of cheese I’m GOING TO USE FUCKING ELMER’S GLUE’ And This doesn’t just go for cheese
If you brine up and crumble tofu you’ve got a very decent feta substitute
You have piqued my curiosity. Tell me more. I have weird sensory issues with most uses of tofu, but I love feta.
(Yes, I am aware that doesn’t make any damn sense. Sensory issues rarely do!)
What we did was a mix of apple cider vinegar, salt and water, I cook by vibe and it was years ago so I don’t have precise measurements but you’re looking for about 1/3 vinegar to 2/3 water and cause it’s feta you wanna salt it like the dead sea or at least the ocean, if you wanna be sure, add the salt water to the vinegar after it basically tastes like sea water. I tossed it in pepper and a little bit of oregano and arame (dried seaweed), a little bit of paprika can also be nice but that’s getting off the strictly feta lane.

I guess you could throw some olive oil into thr mix but I’ve yet to find a lack of fat to be a problem.
Not the op but everyone raves about this tofu feta whenever I make it: https://erinireland.ca/vegan-recipes/the-best-tofu-feta-ever-hands-down/
Bonus: if you have access to powdered lactic acid (e.g. Druids Grove), use 1/4 tsp of that instead of each tablespoon of lemon juice
