Veganizing Indian Recipes

Many Indian dishes are naturally vegan. You will also find many Indian dishes to be vegetarian. Means these vegetarian Indian dishes may contain ghee, yogurt, paneer, cream, or milk.

Let’s see how you can substitute these ingredients in Indian dishes to make them vegan:

  1. Ghee: A staple in Indian cooking, ghee is clarified butter. You can swap it out for vegan butter or your preferred plant-based oil.
  2. Yogurt/Curd: Commonly used in raita or for margination in many Indian dishes, yogurt can be replaced with any plant-based yogurt you like.
  3. Milk: Substitute dairy milk with your choice of plant milk in Indian dishes.
  4. Paneer: A popular option for vegetarians, paneer can be easily replaced with firm tofu in Indian curries.
  5. Cream: To achieve a creamy texture in curries, try using full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream instead of dairy cream.
