    What are some vegetarian meals or dishes you think people should know about?

    I’m pretty guilty of using meat as a crutch in most of my cooking. I’d love to hear about some good meals for inspiration. Ideally things that aren’t made to imitate/replace meat but exist well on their own.

            My go-to are couscous salad with sun-dried tomato and feta because it’s really quick and you can make a lot, and peanut sauce noodle salad.

            Summer time, this is one of my faves: bibim guksu (spicy Korean noodles)

            Recently I’ve been going hard on the lentils, beans, and pulses. Curry soup with chickpeas and potatoes (I add lentils) Any curry, really. Chickpeas and lentils.

            Winter is coming. I love this creamy vegetable soup because it is super low Calories and loaded with veg and no lactose if you prefer not. Still so creamy. It’s great when you need to clear out the dying veg in the fridge.

              A good Dahl over some rice is heaven itself. Add on a side of Chana/Aloo chatt and we’re talking some serious food satisfaction.

                Mutar paneer is one of my favorite dishes.

                I usually use this recipe and then add a lot of peas near the end. I make my own paneer, usually every other week.

                The recipe can be made vegan by replacing the paneer with extra firm tofu, the cream with coconut milk, and the butter with vegan butter.

                ::: spoiler recipe Shahi Paneer

                Indian

                Ingredients:
                400 grams Paneer (Cottage cheese) cut into cubes (see paneer prep note below) 2 tablespoons Oil
                2 medium Onions finely chopped
                15-20 Almonds
                24 oz 5 medium Tomatoes finely chopped
                1 teaspoon Red chilli powder
                1 tablespoon Coriander powder
                Salt to taste
                2 tablespoons Butter
                1/2 cup Cream + for garnishing
                1 teaspoon Kasoori methi powder
                1 teaspoon Garam masala powder
                1/4 teaspoon Green cardamom powder

                Directions: Heat oil in a non stick kadai. Add onions and cashewnuts and sauté lightly. Add tomatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes or tomatoes are pulpy. Add red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt and sauté. Transfer this mixture into a mixer jar, cool and grind to a paste with a little water. Transfer the mixture into the same kadai. Add butter, cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Add cream and mix well. Add paneer, kasoori methi powder, garam masala powder, green cardamom powder and mix well. Transfer into a serving bowl, garnish with some cream and serve hot. :::

                My family prefers the paneer to be cooked before added to the dish. For that I use this:

                ::: spoiler paneer prep In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons oil. Gently, drop in the cubes of paneer and gently toss, taking care not to break the cubes if you’re using the homemade kind. Let the cubes marinate while you get the rest of your ingredients together and prepped.

                Pan fry the paneer before adding to the final dish. This also works with tofu. :::

                  Air fry some tofu seasoned with garlic powder and soy sauce, add cornstarch at 400 for something like 15 minutes, use that in a noodle stir fry (teriyaki is easy enough)

                  I’m also a sucker for eggplant Parm

                        I’ve been trying to get tofu worth the effort for years with no luck. Mapo tofu being the best so far.

                        I haven’t tried air frying it yet, though. So I’m definitely trying that one.

                          Not sure I can get paneer, but this sounds interesting.

                                I probably won’t like this but it’s so unlike anything I’ve ever had that I’m probably going to make it.

                                Thanks for linking the recipe.

                                EDIT: The photo from that article is insane.

                                  Lentil curry (daal) is one of my staples. Indian vegetarian food in general is just fantastic.

                                    A little R&B goes with lots of things (rice and beans)

                                      I probably won’t like this but it’s so unlike anything I’ve ever had that I’m probably going to make it.

                                      Thanks for linking the recipe.

                                      EDIT: The photo from that article is insane.

                                      When I make it, it doesn’t look anywhere as fancy as that lol :3. The photo is pretty accurate to how it’s served in restaurants tho

                                        Not sure I can get paneer, but this sounds interesting.

                                        Make it yourself.

                                        Bring a gallon of milk almost to a boil slowly. Add 1/2 or so acid (white vinegar, or lemon juice work well), the milk solids will separate from the whey. Let it sit off heat for 5-10 minutes. Then scoop out the solids into a strainer lined with a piece of cheese cloth.

                                        Carefully wring out as much whey as possible, being careful the solids may still be very hot.

                                        Place the solids while in the cheese cloth between two cutting boards or similar flat objects. Place them in a baking sheet to capture whey run off. Place the pot with the whey in it on top of the top cutting board. You may need to stand there to balance it.

                                        I have been making paneer for almost 15 years now. I starting making it like this and have graduated to various cheese presses. I find mine preferable to store bought now too.
