Are You Looking for Some Vegan Indian Recipes?

Posted on May 28, 2020 by The VRG Blog Editor

Vegan Indian cuisine is delicious and we’ve published a wide variety of vegan Indian recipes in previous issues of Vegetarian Journal that you might enjoy preparing in your own kitchen.

Crazy About Chutney by Jacqueline Dunnington provides numerous different chutney recipes. Jacqueline says, “The word chutney, the spicy relish from India, comes from the Hindi word catni (in Hindi, “c” is pronounced “ch” as in chain). It is a dining delight that has long since left the subcontinent to tease and satisfy palates around the world from Bombay to Boston, from palace to picnic. This gourmet treat is a blend of spices, herbs, and a dominant fruit or vegetable. Chutney brings rice and grains to life; breads and potatoes dance with chutney. The cook is free to follow a recipe exactly or to add a favorite spice or make a change of produce. In India, chutneys are usually served fresh, but they preserve well in a jar according to your favorite method.” See: https://www.vrg.org/journal/vj99mar/1999_mar_chutney.php
