Vegan Indian cuisine

Did you know that nowhere in the world can you eat vegan and vegetarian as well as in India? India has the most vegetarians of all countries. Almost no beef is eaten in the country because the cow is considered sacred in Hinduism. Buddhists also do not eat meat. The Indian cuisine is naturally best known for its curries, but dahl and naan have also become well known in Europe.

Typical Indian sishes

• Curry. Usually based on tomatoes or coconut milk. Think of aloo gobi, palak paneer, korma, tikka masala, madras, tandoori.
• Dahl (dal or dhal). Lentil curry or lentil soup, made from red, yellow, or black lentils.
• Biryani. A rice dish with vegetables, spices, and sometimes nuts and raisins.
• Samosa. Triangles of dough filled with spiced potato, peas, and sometimes lentils.
• Dosa. Thin, crispy pancakes made from rice and lentils, often filled with potato curry.
• Puri. Popular street food snack made from puffed rice, vegetables, spices, and chili.

Naan or Rice?

If you eat a delicious curry in India, it comes with naan (flatbread) or rice. In southern India, you usually get rice, while in the north, more naan is eaten. Naan is an airy flatbread that you can tear and dip into your curry or dahl. Naan can elevate your Indian meal from an 8 to a 10. Super delicious!

Chapati and Paratha

Chapati is a flat, round wrap made from whole wheat. It looks like roti but is a bit flatter. Chapati is traditionally held over an open flame to let it “puff up.”

Then there is paratha, another type of flatbread, often filled with potato, paneer (cheese), or vegetables. Paratha resembles a thick, heavy, filled wrap the most. Very tasty and nutritious.

How to make Indian curry yourself?

But what if you want to cook Indian food at home? Want to bring Indian cuisine into your home? Then a wide variety of spices is the key. Indian curries are full of spices. However, if you want to make an Indian curry at home in the traditional way, it takes some time. Peeling tomatoes, pureeing them, and a long-simmering curry where all the spices come together perfectly: it’s usually not a matter of 10 minutes.

Indian food without time or cooking skills

Don’t have time to get started with Indian cooking yourself? Or are your chef skills not quite on point? Then buying a jar of Indian curry is of course always the easy option. However, you should be careful when buying a jar of curry in the conventional supermarket. These jars often contain a long list of ingredients you don’t want in your food. Are you someone who always checks the ingredients on a jar to make sure a product is pure? We got you! Our Indian curry in a jar is made specifically for all conscious people who care about what they put into their bodies. Purely made, purely tasted. The taste of these Indian curries is also really good. Developed and extensively tested by people from the region. So you know for sure that a korma curry is really a korma curry. Or that a madras and tikka masala are really Indian.

A jar of Indian curry can therefore also be very delicious and authentic. Just make sure you get the right jars!
