Fedi, recommend non-obvious #vegetarian foods I might like. (I'm neither vegan nor even anywhere near full vegetarian, just vaguely wanting to drift more in that direction, so interpret as broadly as you want.)
"Obvious" here means "an omnivore casually interested in vegetarian food would have already tried this". I regularly make stir-fries with firm tofu, and I have eaten all three of the paneer dishes offered by the local Indian restaurant and they were all delicious.
Special requirement: I categorically do not like squishy foods. Eggplant, most squashes, and cooked carrots are inedible for me, for example.
