We haven’t done a “theme” week yet so why not? One of the best parts of eating a plant based diet is the shear variety of foods you get to explore. Most countries and regions have their own unique cuisine and many of them have a veggie slant. Indian food is one of our favourites. This week we’ll try out few Indian inspired recipes that we love and hope you’ll love too. No crazy spices (more or less) just great flavours.
Breakfast
Mango Lassi
A lassi is any drink made with a yogurt base. This mango lassi is like a milkshake or smoothie with a punchy mango flavour and a coconut yogurt base.
Lunch
Indian Spiced Chickpea Soup
A hearty Indian, chickpea soup that is different than many such dishes. This soup has hints of lime and mint that make it deliciously unique.
Dinner
Dal Makhani
Dal Makhani uses lentils and beans in a delicately spiced tomato and coconut sauce that will make you smile.
Snacks & Desserts
Onion Bhajis
Getting onion bhajis at a restaurant is a decadent little treat. Now you can make them at home easily without all the deep frying. Quick. Easy. Delicious!
The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
