I would not use silken tofu as it is too soft and would turn to mush. I would use normal raw tofu and cube and fry it lightly until it got a little crispy and golden round the edges. Its a while since I used it. No, I don't think the taste of tofu would be the same as paneer, but if you get the right kind of tofu the texture is almost identical. You can add flavours to make it taste like cheese if you want. I only really started getting heavily into making curries since I went vegan, I never cooked with "real" paneer. Someone suggested marinating the cubed tofu in lemon juice, so that's how we did it.Mr Flibble
