What's your favorite vegetarian receipes?

[Don Penguinoini]

I've known some vegetarians who still eat seafood. Their choice to become vegetarian was not about religion but simply a desire to remove beef and pork from their diet.

If you eat fish, you can't really be considered a vegetarian, can you?

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Ahh, checked it out on wiki! But it's not quite vegetarian, has fish in it.
Still sounds good though!

Kedgeree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gujarati food, hmmm, you'll have to share some more recipies with me then. And yes, food pics would be awesome!

ne we have sometimes is mixed veggie rice, with potatoes.

Bascially, skin the 'taters.
Cut them into chips, but small ones. When i say chips, i mean real chips, not crisps.
In the mixed veggie rice, you need peas and lil carrots, anything other than that is up to you.
Shallow fry the potatoes (i hope you cleaned them) with some herbs, such as cumin seeds (lol, cumin), black mustard seeds. You MUST use tumeric powder, without it is terrible. I urge you to use it. Not really, you need to use it . It has anti-biotic properties. It turns food yellowy and gives a nice zing
Now, once the potatoes seem done, chuck all the rice in and let it settle. Mix it around every 5 mins, and then when it smells strongly, and looks good, take it out, and serve

I personally hate mixed veggie rice, but I know that most people love it.

Or, try a veggie quarter pounder with some chips.

A personal favourite of mine... Aloo Gobi (thats Hindi for Bateta nu Shak in Gujarati ) There is no English translation, but its like Potato Cauliflower. You can just leave the cauliflower out.

Skin the potatoes
Cut them into cubes
Use the same herbs as mentioned above, let it cook and you are done

Serve it with rotii or naan, or whatever floats your boat

Forgot to mention, add lemon juice to everything

A religious vegetarian would not consider them to be vegetarian but then again, Vegan's don't consider regular vegetarian's to be vegetarian enough either. I've known some people who considered themselves to be vegetarians but still ate seafood. I'm not going to correct them.

I wouldn't but there you go.

Pesto Penne

Ingredients:
-Small bag of red-skin potatos (or 4 or 5 regular potatos-- the redskins just have more flavor)
-About 1 lb or so of fresh green beans (you really can't have too many)
-1 box of penne pasta (16oz)
-Creamy pesto sauce packet (you'll need some milk/heavy whipping cream and olive oil for this)
-Lots of garlic

Direction:
Cube the potatos (keep the skins on) and boil. When they are tender, fry them in heated olive oil, garlic, and pepper. Start boiling the green beans. When they are done (make sure they aren't mushy; slightly crunchy is good), add them to the potatos. Add more olive oil, garlic and pepper, if necessary. Start the pasta. You want the potatos to get a nice crunchy outer layer, if possible. Once the pasta is done, toss with potatos and green beans in a big bowl. Make the pesto sauce according to the packet directions (if you can't find the creamy variety, just adding milk to the regular variety works just fine). Lightly toss the pesto sauce with the rest. Serve and Enjoy!

It might need a little salt, but I suggest not to add any while cooking because the potatos just soak it all up. Just add a sprinkle to individual plates of the meal.

That sounds good... :drool:

Use avocado and dairy foods to help with the transition. They are often high in fat (very good fats in the case of avocado), but not nearly as heavy as meats, so you get the meat "high" while still making good progress into vegetarianism.

TOR's All-Purpose Mid-Day Slop

Pan fry equal parts of:

• Diced potatoes
• Diced tomatoes
• Diced onions

Fresh garlic, to taste
Salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Push veggies to side of pan and add a modest amount of scrambled egg, then mix
Add cheese to taste, (pepper jack or feta is good)
Plate the food and top with sliced avocado or guacamole

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Basically diced potatos and a bit of tumeric (a pinch, i dont deal in weights) shallow fried is perfect. From here you can add what you like. You can eat it with whatever you like, but it works best with naan or roti's. (Rotli in my language)

The dough of this should me made in the house. The best is medium brown. YOu jsut gradually add boiling water and mix it with bare hands to create a nice light brown dough. You then flatten it out into a circle.

Chuck it onto one of these:

Rub VERY LITTLE oil on the top, and do both sides for about a minute all together.
Then, take the tawa (that thing) off and chuck the roti onto a naked flame.
Leave it for about two seconds, and then take it off.
If it has risen, then your roti is perfect!
Some apply a layer of ghee after, some don't. Leaving it is healthier

One thing is, the way we eat in our house is strange. We do not measure things out or even have a correct order for most things. We just "know." You get it over time.

 

[Breathe]

Naan, roti, chapatti, I love them all.

That looks fantastic, but I don't have a tawa. I'll keep an eye out for one (btw, what flour do you use? )

Well if you plan on having fish, I will give you my fishy recipe

4 oz salmon
Honey mustard-store bought or homemade
(my preference- just mix the following)

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

take a food brush and spread honey mustard on top of the salmon
bake salmon at 350`F (175`C) for about 20 mins. Salmon is done when it flakes off with a fork.
Serve on a bed of rice(your choice.I like white) Some buttered sweet carrots and a Salad w/honey mustard dressing(recipe above)

Family tears it up.

In Alaska a dog musher told me he was a vegetarian because he only eats moose and salmon that he hunted and fished himself. I was not about to tell him he was wrong.

Elephant Atta Wholemeal is the best, healthier than white and the taste is amazing, when you make a perfect Roti

I honestly suggest you try and make them. It is great.

Makes perfect sense to me.

10KG?? Is there a smaller one?
I'll keep an eye out for them; do you think I'd be able to find them at conventional supermarkets like, ASDA or Somerfield?

Honestly, if I learned how to make samosas, chapati, and naan bread by hand, I'd probably live on the stuff for a while; I get chapati withdrawal, I think.

I think so, but 10kg is what you mean. We get the 32kg bag at home

And no, I don't think so. If you leave near an area with TONNES of Indians, then you will find these shops.

Samosas and naan, difficult. Even we don't make them

What the! 32KG bags?!! See, we don't have a car in my house, so this stuff's coming home only one way, in the back of the pushchair.

About 20% of my city is Indian, I think. I know 14% is Sikh, but I forget the number of Hindus, but I'm not sure about Indian born Muslims (most Muslims here come from Pakistan). How I got into a discussion that let to me being told that by our Sikh gasman, I don't know.

Really?? Well, they do seem kinda difficult, hmmm...! What about roti and chapati? Easy or tricky too?

I s'pose that can be a problem... I am not too sure if there are bags smaller than 10kg. Indians love buying in bulk Couldn't some friends help you out?

Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs are all the same as long as they are from India. The Muslims are a little different with their diet, but Sikhs and Hindus are not that different. Sikh diets are very unhealthy because they use a lot of ghee.

Roti and chapati's are the same thing. The names were made easier for the English Like everything They are not too difficult to make, but the perfect circles and perfect roti is hard to make. That comes with time and experience. I suggest you try and make a roti (somehow) and see how it feels.

That's only because it's 3 days to the next market.

I don't have any friends now except for one guy! I've been skanked by old friends; ex-best friend's girlfriend tried to steal from us, when confronted, she stopped him seeing us, and my other ex-friend is dating my ex who's an evil psychopathic ***** D She is! She tried to stab me!!) who loathes me!

I suppose I could get a taxi, eh?

I think most of the Muslims from here are from Pakistan and Bangladesh; I don't know is the cuisines are different from Indian food; (I best avoid Sikh diets then, I feel fat already!) - but nowadays we have a lot from Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan are coming in. I suppose I could ask them too

I'll have a go making some roti sometime, I'm not worried about making a perfect circle though (Why are there two words for the same thing?? Which one's the original?? )
