A cook makes paneer from watermelon seeds instead of milk. The fake paneer has 27g of protein per serving, all nine essential amino acids, and no cholesterol. Tasters couldn't tell it apart from the real thing.
This paneer has not come from a cow, yet it has 27 grams of protein per serving. And no, this is not tofu either. This actually came from a watermelon, specifically from the seeds that are present inside it called magaj, available at any kirana store. Basically, if you soak 2 cups of these for about 6 hours, then blend them with 4 cups of water, strain it, take this watermelon seed milk, boil it on the stove, allow it to curdle on its own till the water separates, add salt, then strain this mixture through a muslin And press it down with something heavy. 30 minutes later, you'll be left with this beautiful block of plant-based paneer, which even contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. But comes with zero cholesterol and zero cruelty. And the person you serve it to, they will never know it didn't come from a cow.
