Inexpensive and Easy to Prepare Vegan Dishes

South Indian Vegetable Curry

You might not know this by looking at all of the meat and yogurt-rich Indian restaurants in the west, but India is one of the most vegan-friendly places on earth, as many of the Indian religions and philosophies either demand or recommend a vegetarian diet. One of the most popular dishes is aloo gobi, which consists of well-seasoned cauliflowers and potatoes. Served with a Goan curry (which substitutes yogurt with coconut milk), this dish is a 100% vegan and delicious. It can be eaten as is or served on top of plain rice or (vegan) paratha bread.

Ingredients:
Potato - 2 medium sized (peeled and chopped)
Onion - 1 medium (chopped)
Carrot - 1 medium
Tomatoes - 1 medium (diced)
Tomato paste - 1 tbsp.
Ingredients for Curry paste:
Kashmiri chilis - 6-8 (dried)
Coconut butter - 1 1/2 cups
Yellow onion - 1/2 (chopped)
Tamarind sauce - 1 tsp. (alternative: equal parts lime and sugar)
Ginger - 1 1/2 tbsp. (chopped or grated)
Garlic - 5 cloves
Powdered turmeric - 1/2 tsp.
Ground black pepper - 1/2 tsp.
Coriander seeds - 1 1/2 tsp.
Coconut milk - 1 cup
Ground cumin - 1 tsp.
Stir-fried Vegetables and Tofu

Making a vegan stir-fried dish is extremely simple and takes very little time. To give the tofu a more al-dente, savory quality, we will give it a light cornstarch coating and fry it before adding it to the mixture. This dish can be eaten as is, or on top of rice or noodles.

Ingredients for sauce:
Rice vinegar - 1 tbsp.
Chili flakes - 1 tsp.
Sesame oil - 1 tbsp.
Hoisin sauce - 2 tsp.
Ingredients:
Tofu - 140 oz. (400g) (extra firm)
Broccoli - 2 cups (florets)
Snow peas - 1 cup
Garlic - 2-3 cloves (finely chopped or minced)
Ginger - 1 tbsp. (finely chopped)
Cornstarch - 2 tbsp.
Salt and Pepper - as needed
Tomato and Mushroom Ragu

This vegan Bolognese sauce substitutes meat for juicy mushrooms which are full of flavor. Champignon mushrooms make for a great meat substitute thanks to their chewy consistency and the tendency to absorb liquids and take in flavors, while coloring the rest of the sauce with their own distinct aroma. This dish is best served with spaghetti or tagliatelle pasta.

Ingredients:
Tomatoes - 5 (crushed)
Tomato paste - 1 cup
Bay leaves - 1 leaf
Basil - 1 tsp.
Thyme - 1 tsp.
Oregano - 1 tsp.
Marjoram - 1 tsp.
Garlic - 5 cloves (minced)
Carrot - 1 medium (shredded)
Onion - 1 medium (diced)
Red wine - by taste
Salt and Pepper - as needed
Button mushrooms - 8-10 (halved)
