is anyone a vegetarian?

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

oh yes pal. it depends on what kind of kerala cuisine you are interested in. there are a couple of books that do a great job of covering some of it. there is still the entire malabar muslim cuisine that goes without any serious documenting, and that is huge. :\

Tofu is like sponge. It will absorb (at least the upper layer of Tofu will absorb) flavor of the dish.

Protein powder!

Tofu, paneer, legumes..nuts, peanut butter, almond butter.

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

I can’t for the life of me remember this one breakfast dish we had. It looked sort of like idli, but I thought the cook called it PO - does that sound at all familiar?

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

Unfortunately I don't have recipes on my blog :P I do write about food but I absolutely dislike cooking! lol
I'll start posting recipe's once I HAVE to cook - which is in around a month. Sigh!
You should be able to find yummy desi recipe's with tofu though.
Some suggestions: You can do Tofu Tikka Masala, Tofu skewers, Palak Paneer, Mughali Tofu... the options are endless :)

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

BTW, why wont you guys eat meat? What is the deal with that you veggie people? (If its for religious reasons, I understand)

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

Nope, nothing religious for me... I don't make it Haraam on myself so I do eat salan if there is meat in it. Sooo if there's Aloo Gosh, I'll eat aloo. Or Biryani, I'll eat rice. I've never liked the taste - even as a kid. As I grew older, I started getting grossed out/disliking it and since I had more control over what I ate, I gradually disliked it so much that I stopped eating it altogether

no

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

Wait, I think I've found it thanks to Mr. Google: *putthu

*That's sort of idli like and you eat it with Indian-style veggies, right?

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

Dunno what country you’re in but here in the US there are lots of meat “substitutes” available that are totally vegetarian.. like burger patties, “chicken nuggets”, etc…there’s even “ground beef” sub that can be used in any recipe that calls for keema. I’m not sure how they taste, I just bought one of them…will let u know how it turns out when I make it.

Im not a fan of red meat, but cant imagine life without chicken.! Lol.! Quorn is nice! Quorn sausges are the best.!

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

bella quon has sooo much sodium

Re: is anyone a vegetarian?

I dont think 0.17g per sausage is 'too much'

Quorn has egg white in it so not sticktly vegetarian so I dont eat quorn products much. The other supermarket brand meat-free products are vegi only soya bean based products and are tastier. (tesco/asda/sainsbury)

Protein sources in my diet are: beans (red kidney, butter, black eye, Flageolet Beans, Adzuki), lentils (all daal), peas, chickpeas, quinoa, soya mince, cheese.

Ooo does it? I dont eat them all the time, my diet is made up
Of chicken and veg n fruit etc and i try to have red meat just once every 2 weeks i cnt stomach it! Ive had soya sausages aswll. The linda mccartney range r nice. I cant stomach halal
Sausges for some
Reason so stick to quorn/soya.!

Ive heard alot about quinoa.? Is it nice! Someone @ the gym reccomended it..
