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.

Veggie Burgers - Yum!So Jane's been a little reluctant to try to make a vegan burger on her own. We've had a few when we've gone out for dinner, but they tend to be a little crumbly. She's been making Dr. Praegers Tex Mex burgers on occasion at home. Last night we...
Eating Meatless and Loving ItTonight, we had a few friends over for an impromptu dinner. Typically when company comes over, Jane goes all out and prepares a more formal meal something akin to the Valentine's dinner that we had recently. But tonight we ate what we would've...
Mocha Frappuccino -- Who Needs It?So yesterday Jane brought me home the Silk Coffee flavored soy beverage. Yummy. It's like a Starbucks Mochaccino. Ok, I don't really know if it's like a Starbuck's Mochaccino, but it certainly makes a nice iced afternoon snack. Jane's not fond...
Food, Inc. on DVDJane and I went to see Food Inc. in June (here's our review in case you missed it). Many of you emailed us and expressed interest in the movie, but it had a limited run and so you may not have had the opportunity to even get to a theater to see...
Yet Another Reason Not To Eat MeatRecently, I've been reading a lot about the "natural" human diet. Some people argue we've evolved to be meat eaters, others that we're naturally vegetarians. Obviously, we're pro-vegan here, but the question still rages. Are humans natural...

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.
Yes, we’ve been to two of the local Indian restaurants here. I’ve blogged about our visits here and in this post , where we learned that Naan isn’t generally a vegan food. Our server actually saved us. We had no idea…
I’ll have to figure out palak tofu! I really miss palak paneer – I used to make my own paneer for it and everything, but now that I don’t do that milk thing . . .
Hi Sparrow,
Jane hasn’t made it in awhile. We tend to be cyclical in our eating.
As for trying to figure it out… we get most of our vegan cookbooks through inter-library loan. Perhaps you can get Gartenstein’s book that way?
