Vegetarianism is often viewed as a “leaf-only” diet.
No. Just no. It is far from that. Very, very far from that.
As a practicing vegetarian, I present five of my absolute favorite recipes for you all to try 🙂
Tomato-Free Tortellini Minestrone
I am not a big fan of tomatoes, so for those who think alike, here is this Italian classic for you all to try.
Cabbage and Onion Fritter
This is a recipe I absolutely love, and I have made it by myself as well. It is inspired by a South Asian delicacy called “pakora,” and many variations of pakoras exist.
Ingredients:
1/2 medium sized cabbage, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
A pinch of salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups of gram flour/chickpea flour
Water
A pinch of red chilly powder
Oil
Procedure
1. Make a thin batter of gram flour and water. The consistency should be that of pancake batter.
2.Heat oil on a medium flame.
3. Add the salt, red chilly powder to the batter and mix well.
4. Add the vegetables and mix well.
5. Take teaspoon sized portions of the batter and deep fry them.
6. Serve hot, with coriander chutney (recipe here) or ketchup.
Black bean and Cheese Enchiladas with Ranchero Sauce
This makes me hungry. Why is my fridge empty?
Regardless, recipe here 🙂
Stuffed Tomatoes
Despite my dislike of tomatoes, I love this dish. Pretty ironic, but the truth cannot be hidden, especially in the case of a foodie.

To end this post on a sweet note, let’s bring in a dessert, shall we?
