Vegan Indian Recipes

Welcome to my collection of vegan Indian recipes!

Indian cuisine is diverse and complex, much like the country. I have been cooking Indian food for more than two decades now and on this page you'll find a growing list of options, including delicious dals, curries, rice dishes, breakfast recipes, street food recipes and desserts. The recipes on this page represent all regional cuisines of India and they come from family, friends, and my own experiences of eating authentic Indian food growing up in India and traveling around the country.

All recipes are 100 percent vegan with thoughtful substitutions for meat and for dairy products used widely in Indian vegetarian cuisine, including ghee, paneer, yogurt and cream. Most recipes include step-by-step photography so they're easy to follow. I hope you love them as much as we do!
