Vegetarian meals are not only delicious but they are also laden with nutrition and all the fiber that your parents insisted you should eat as a kid. But as kids, not everybody knew how eggplant can be turned in a fancy meal. It’s not too late though. There are so many vegetarian recipes that you have not tried yet. Even if you keep one new recipe each day for your life you are going go to leave many out.

Veg Indian recipes are power-packed and highly underrated. We should give our cultural food more credit than we do. In every state and every region, there’s a variety of food available. With the help of the internet today you can easily bring them to your home. So let’s start with some of the best veg Indian recipes to get you going.

  1. Maharashtrian Amti Dal

If sweet and spicy is your desired food combination then you must definitely try Maharashtrian Amti Dal. The word amti means sour in Marathi so of course, you can expect a little tanginess too. This is a traditional Maharashtrian dish and is made from pigeon pea and traditional spices.

2. Dal Makhani

Another veg Indian recipe with lentils is this North Indian recipe called Dal Makhani. This recipe is a favorite of all. It can be made easily at home with the basic ingredients. It can be served with naan, paratha, roti, or rice. No matter what you have this with just do not forget to take a spoonful of achaar on the side.

3. Veg Omelet

The veg omelet has more than one name in India. In some places, it is called besan chilla or pudla. It is an easy-to-make breakfast recipe that can have many variations. You can add tomatoes, onions, peas, carrots, or any other vegetable of your choice. It is served with green chutney or ketchup. It is a nice filling and healthy snack option.

4. Khichdi

Khichdi might not be everyone’s favorite but that’s only because you haven’t tried the best version of it. In Some cultures, you have khichdi with dal or kadhi or buttermilk even. It is a very healthy and traditional meal. It’s quick to make and you can hardly ever go wrong with it.

5. Paratha

Parathas are of so many types. Paneer paratha, gobhi paratha, beet paratha, lacchha paratha, aloo paratha, methi paratha, and believe me the list goes on. Parathas are not just perfect with sabzis but they also go well with achaar and curd. You can have them as you like them. There’s no one way.

6. Paneer ki Sabzi

This list cannot end without mentioning paneer, an ingredient that most vegetarians praise the most. Any meal with paneer is considered an elite or celebratory meal in most Indian households. You can matar paneer, Kadai paneer, paneer tikka, hara bhara paneer, paneer biryani, and many other things.

So you see if you want you will never run out of veg Indian meal options. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Keep exploring and you will never be out of options.
