Indian food, with layers of complex flavor and a heady aroma, is some of the best in the world. But it is not an easy cuisine to master immediately because you need a basic understanding of spices to balance out recipes, especially when you veganize them. That’s why I’ve collected for you a few diverse and easy Indian vegan recipes that need just a few simple ingredients. Not only are they delicious, but they will give you a strong foundation to build upon when you tackle slightly more complex dishes like my vegan butter chicken, chickpea curry or vegan malai kofta. I haven’t included Indian bread recipes here because with these there is a learning curve. But if you want to try your hand at making them, you can dive in here for all of our Indian bread recipes, including vegan naan and roti. Also read this comprehensive post to learn more about how to substitute vegan products in Indian recipes.
Rice dishes
Rice is eaten every day across India, particularly in the southern and eastern states. While plain rice, like the basmati rice below, is served most often in homes, you can spice things up a bit by serving a pilaf-style rice or biryani. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
