Saag paneer

I really can't believe that this worked.

I had some 'mostarella' (good god, when will the wacky names for vegan cheeses end?) which I made from a recipe in The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. It's an oatflour and cornstarch thickened 'cheese', flavoured with tahini, nutritional yeast and lemon juice. (I left out the onion powder, and added one cube of stinky tofu.)

I had some spinach, and had a hankering for saag paneer. At first I assumed that I wouldn't be able to pan-fry the mostarella, because it is pretty soft. But I gave it a shot anyway, and it worked!
