Roasted and marinated vegetable antipasti are a staple of Italian starters. Colorful and full of flavor, they also make a great side, especially with a beef carpaccio or a beautiful burrata.

These manchurians are Indo-Chinese vegetable balls in an absolutely divine sweet and sour sauce. They’re flavorful, tender, with a texture close to meat, and here everyone loved them! A vegan, parve recipe.

Red lentil dal is a hearty, satisfying vegetarian (and even vegan) dish that makes a complete meal. A pantry-staples recipe of the kind I love, perfect for traveling without leaving home.

Pick and choose from these ideas to put together your own favorite homemade Indian feast.

The famous chickpea fritters, so easy to make and so, so good! A must-have for your falafel party (and naturally vegan and parve).

A little trip to India with this samosa recipe - vegetarian triangles stuffed with potatoes and peas.

These pakoras are little Indian fritters made with a chickpea flour batter. They are crispy and easy to make. Naturally vegan, gluten-free and parve.

I make vegetable curries all the time once fall arrives, but I’d never had the chance to share one with you. That’s now fixed with this vegetarian curry with coconut cream: a complete meal that’s exotic, healthy and comforting at this time of year.

This famous green mint and cilantro sauce is close to the one served as a starter in Indian restaurants. I swapped the traditional yogurt for a quick cashew cream, which makes it vegan and parve.

After the Cheese naans, today I’m sharing a tasty variation - garlic and cilantro naan, with instructions for making it dairy-free (parve).
