Plant-Based Indian
My favorite way to cook is by spinning the globe and seeing where I end up. It’s that wanderlust engrained on my heart that can take me anywhere around the world from my tiny little kitchen. Indian has such a vast array of quintessential dishes that are easily transformed plant-based. Since the bread and butter of Indian cooking is toasted spices, it is very easy to substitute out the meat in these recipes and keep the essence of the dish.
