Palak Tofu

September 22nd, 2007 · 2 Comments

In the past, Jane and I have truly enjoyed Indian cuisine. However, being vegan, we are a little reluctant to even try our favorite restaurants. Chicken Tikka Masala is not a vegan dish! And most of the dishes we most enjoy, even though they could be adapted with tofu, contain ghee and/or cream. Alas.

Jane recently bought The Accidental Vegan by Devra Gartenstein, and made our first vegan Indian dish, Palak Tofu.  Yum! I knew I was in for a treat when I smelled the aromatic spices as I stepped out of my car tonight.

This is another one for our rotation.

    Have you tried any Indian restaurants yet? I’ve had really good experiences with the employees being very knowledgeable about which dishes were and were not vegan. They actually know the word ‘vegan’ and seem to really know what it means. (But maybe that is because I live in Portland?) There are some really good Indian lentil, chickpea and veggie dishes.
