3 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups sweet corn (580g)

1 teaspoon black pepper OR to taste
Lemon Juice to taste ( I have added 3 tablespoons of lemon juice)
Salt to taste ( I have added total 1 + 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt)
▶️ METHOD:
Heat a pan on medium high heat and add olive oil. Then add corn, edamame, 2 tablespoon water and mix well. Reduce the heat to low and then cover and cook it for about 2 to 3 minutes. Basically we are steaming it. (do not over cook this otherwise you will ruin the taste and texture of the corn/edamame). Now the cooking time also depends on your stove, mine took only 2 minutes to steam.
Uncover and turn the heat to high. Fry it for about 30 seconds to get rid of any excess water (do not over do it) and then turn off the heat. Set it aside and let it completely cool down.
Once the corn and edamame has cooled off, transfer it to a large bowl. Add avocado, cherry tomato, red onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, grated garlic and mix well. Serve it either room temperature OR store it in the fridge and serve it cold. (OPTIONAL: Drizzle some good quality olive oil just before serving).
This is a perfect recipe for meal prep as we can store it in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

To chop the kernels, first cut the tip of the corn, this will make it more stable and easy to handle when chopping
Do not over cook the corn and edamame as it will ruin it's taste and texture. Our goal is to keep it crunchy.
Add lemon juice and salt gradually, remember you can always add more but cannot remove it from the salad
This is a perfect make ahead salad and can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days

▶️ Nutritional Value per Bar:
Protein: 13.32 g
Carbohydrate: 34.13 g
Fiber: 9 g
Fats: 29.72 g
Calories: 430
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (12 bars)
150g Almond - 1 cup
100g Walnuts - 1 cup
130g Pumpkin seeds - 1 cup
50g Goji Berry - 1/2 cup
350g Pitted SOFT Dates (Jelly Like) - 2 heaping cups
1 Cup Smooth Almond Butter (265g) OR Nut Butter of Choice (preferably unsalted)
1/4 Teaspoon Salt (I have added pink Himalayan salt)
1/2 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon OR to taste
Square Pan: 9 X 9 X 2 Inch (23 X 23 X 5 cm)
▶️ METHOD:
Start by toasting the almonds for about 2 minutes on medium heat, then add the walnut and pumpkin seeds to it and toast for another 2 minutes. Once toasted immediately remove from heat and transfer it to a heat proof plate and allow to to completely cool down. this will prevent the nuts from burning.
Now add the dates and almond butter to a food processor and blend it well and then add the toasted nuts, goji berry, ground cinnamon and salt. Blend it to a coarse mixture.
▶️ PROTEIN/ENERGY BARS:
Prepare a pan by brushing the bottom and side walls with oil and line it with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it with a spoon to pack it firmly. Take your time as it is REALLY important to press it firm, especially the corners - this will prevent any air gaps and prevent the bars from crumbling while cutting. Smooth out the surface.
Now cover it with plastic wrap and let it chill and set in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
Once it has set remove from the pan and cut it into desired shape with a sharp knife. Make sure to clean the knife with paper towel in between cuts this will keep the cuts clean.
After cutting it wrap it individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and store it in the refrigerator. This stores well in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks.
▶️ PROTEIN/ENERGY BALLS:
Take two tablespoons of the mixture and press it between palms of your hand until firm and formed into a ball. Then smooth out the surface. You can store it as is in an air tight container or wrap it individually in a plastic wrap or parchment paper.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 As soon as the nuts/seeds/dates are toasted remove it from the heat and transfer it to a plate to cool down. This will prevent it from burning. DO NOT leave it in the hot pan.
👉 Use SOFT dates only
👉 If the mixture gets too dry and difficult to bind add some more almond butter
👉 sometimes nuts/seeds/dates are dryer than usual and may need more binding. The fix is to increase the amount of almond butter so that it sticks together. Just empty the mixture into a bowl, add some almond butter mix it thoroughly until it starts sticking together and then transfer it back to the mold, press the mixture again and refrigerate
👉 (Optional) Brushing the pan with oil will prevent the mixture from sticking to the sides
👉 It’s really important that you take the time to press the mixture properly in the pan until firm especially the corners. This will prevent the bars from crumbling while cutting
👉 To keep the cuts clean, clean the knife with paper towel in between cuts
👉 You can shape the mixture into balls, if you do not want to make bars
Enjoy!

(If you want to make a smaller batch cut the recipe in half)
▶️ METHOD:
Soak the brown lentils for about 5 to 6 hours or until tender. Once soaked well drain it and set it aside.
Heat a large pot (I have used a cast iron casserole). Add onion, carrot, celery, red bell pepper and salt and fry it on medium high to high heat (depending on the heat of your stove). Adding salt will help release water from the vegetables and help it cook faster so please don't skip this step. The goal is to brown the veggies as it will add a lot of flavour to this dish. It will take about 6 to 7 minutes. Once the veggies start to brown, add the chopped garlic and fry for another 2 minutes or so.
Add the strained tomatoes, lentil, oregano, thyme, cumin, cayenne, salt and water. Mix it well and cover the lid and bring it to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook it for about 1 hour.
After an hour, remove the lid. (check to see if the lentils are soft, if not cook it for a bit longer) and give it a good stir. Now increase the heat to medium high to high (depending on the heat of your stove) and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add the chopped spinach and cook it for about 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat. Garnish it with chopped parsley, ground black pepper and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use a good quality olive oil as it will add to the flavour. Mix it well. Make sure to taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.
If the stew gets too think add some boiling water to thin it out. Do not use cold water as it will ruin the taste. This is a perfect recipe for meal prep. you can make a big batch of it and freeze it in portions to consume later.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
If the stew gets too think after cooking, then add some boiling water to thin it out. DO NOT use cold water as it will ruin the taste
if you do not have time to soak the lentils, just wash it well and cook it for longer but soaking it makes it easier for digestion
This is a perfect recipe for meal prep so you can make a big batch of it and freeze it in portions to consume later
if you want to make a smaller batch, cut the recipe in half

1 to 2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
👉 To cook quinoa:
1 cup Quinoa (190g) - thoroughly washed & drained
2 to 3 tablespoon Olive oil
1 cup onion (135g) - chopped
2 teaspoon garlic (3 to 4 cloves of garlic) - chopped/grated Or to taste

3/4 cup (175ml) Strained tomatoes OR passata

1 + 1/2 cup (350ml) Water
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 cup (40g) raisins - finely chopped
1/2 cup (45g) parsley - chopped
▶️ METHOD:
To a heated pan add the cooking oil and chickpeas. Cook on medium high heat until chickpea starts to crisp up (it take about 2 to 3 minutes). Then add paprika, ground black pepper and salt. Fry for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the chickpeas are nicely coated with the spices. Transfer to a plate and set it aside for later. Make sure to use a plate so that the chickpeas are spread out (this will prevent it from getting soggy)
Now to the same pan add some cooking oil, onion and salt. Adding salt will release moisture from the onion and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry on medium-high to high heat (depending on the heat of your stove) just until the onion just starts to caramelize (it will take about 4 to 5 minutes).
As soon as the onion starts to caramelize, add the ginger and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium low and fry for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Next add the strained tomatoes/passata and let it cook for about 2 minutes, in the mean time wash the quinoa thoroughly with water and transfer to the pan along with ground cumin and cayenne pepper. (Cayenne pepper is optional). Increase the heat to medium-high, add water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes or until quinoa is fully cooked.
Uncover and check to see if the quinoa is cooked. It should be cooked by then but if not cook it for a bit longer. Turn off the heat, add parsley, raisins and fried chickpeas and mix well. (Please DO NOT skip the raisin, as it will balance out the tartness of the tomato. Also, it’s important to finely chop the raisins so that it can disintegrate in the dish and you won't even notice it). Check for seasoning. Ready to serve.
This is perfect for meal prep as it stores well in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa. Also, drain the water properly from the quinoa otherwise it will turn soggy when cooked
-Towards the end of cooking quinoa, if there is still water left in the pan then uncovered and continue cooking for a bit longer to get rid of the excess water
Be careful when adding ginger because if you add to much of it the dish will turn bitter
Please DO NOT skip the raisin, it's an important ingredient and will balance out the tartness of the tomato. Also, it’s important that you finely chop the raisins so that it can disintegrate in the dish

Oil Free Mayonnaise with Cauliflower (Plant-Based) | Best Vegan Mayo!
Oil Free Mayonnaise with Cauliflower (Plant-Based) | Best Vegan Mayo!
Oil Free & Eggless Mayonnaise with Cauliflower [Plant-Based] | Healthy Vegetable Dip Recipe
👉 INGREDIENT LIST: (790g Mayonnaise)
500g Cauliflower
100g raw cashew nut - 3/4 cup
5 to 6 garlic cloves
1/2 tablespoon salt (I have used pink Himalayan salt)
300ml Water - 1+1/4 cup
2 tablespoon while vinegar (I have used white wine vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon (or to taste) Dijon OR Yellow Mustard (I have made this recipe with both dijon and yellow mustard. I find yellow mustard is great for this recipe but if it’s too strong for you, Dijon mustard would work well too
👉 METHOD:
Add the cauliflower, raw cashews, garlic, salt and water to a pot. Cover the lid and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cook it until the cauliflower is soft, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes (cooking time depends on the cauliflower you are using).
Once cooked turn off the heat and let it cool down "uncovered" to room temperature. Then transfer the contents from the pot to a blender. After transferring the cooked cauliflower and cashews to the blender, if you think there is too much liquid left in the pot, then add a little liquid at a time as you blend and as needed (use your judgement). This will prevent the puree from getting watery.
Add white vinegar, ground black pepper and mustard to it and blend it to a very smooth puree. It should turn light and airy once blended.
Taste test the puree for seasoning right after you blend it and also, if you think it still has a strong cauliflower flavour then you can add some more mustard to it that will help mask the cauliflower flavour.
Transfer it to an air tight container and let it chill and set in the refrigerator for at least 5 to 6 hours. This will thicken the puree and help it get the right texture.
Enjoy it in your favourite sandwiches, as a dip or even as a salad dressing. If stored well, it can last for 8 to 10 days.
👉 IMPORTANT TIPS:
To get best results try to measure the ingredients by weight
Taste test the puree right after you blend it and if you find that it still has a strong cauliflower flavour then you can add some more mustard to it. It not only adds flavour but also masks the flavour of the cauliflower
Let the cooked ingredients cool down "Uncovered - this get rid of any extra moisture
After transferring the cooked cauliflower and cashew to the blender, if it looks like there is too much left over liquid in the pot then add a little liquid at a time as you blend and as needed (use your judgement). This will prevent the puree from getting watery
I have made this recipe with both dijon and yellow mustard. I find yellow mustard is great for this recipe but if it’s too strong for you, Dijon mustard would work well too
If stored well it can last in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 days
For those who want to make a smaller batch can cut the recipe in half
Enjoy!

Vegetable Noodle Salad Recipe. A quick and easy Vegetarian and Vegan Meals Idea. Healthy recipes for any day for the week. This salad recipe with an easy homemade dressing is just great for the summer. So make this easy salad recipe for your next get together.
💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan easy noodle salad recipe?
▶️ VEGETABLE NOODLES RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
👉 Vegetables for the salad:
120g / 2 cups Broccoli - CUT IN TO SMALL FLORETS
100g / 1 cup Red bell pepper - thinly sliced
100g / 1 cup SNAP PEAS OR SNOW PEAS - chopped
100g / 1 cup Carrots - Julienne cut
75g / 1 cup Green Onions - chopped
15g / 1/2 cup Cilantro - chopped
👉 To cook Spaghetti Noodles:
225g Spaghetti Noodles (or noodles of choice)
2+1/2 to 3 Litres of Boiling water
Generous amount of salt ( I have added 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
👉 **To make Garlic Flavoured Oil:
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon / 12g Garlic - finely chopped
1/4 Teaspoon Chili Flakes or to taste
1 Tablespoon / 10g White Sesame Seeds
👉 Salad Dressing:
**Garlic Oil (See the method for directions)
1+1/2 Tablespoon Lime or Lemon Juice or to taste
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1+1/2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup or to taste
1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil or to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Start by preparing the vegetables. Thoroughly wash and chop the vegetables and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
✅ To cook Spaghetti Noodles:
Bring the water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon salt. Add the dry spaghetti noodles and cook it al-dente. Undercook the noodles by 1 to 2 minutes. I cooked the spaghetti noodles for 8 minutes. Once cooked drain the noodles and rinse it off with cold water to stop the cooking process. Then let it sit in the strainer to drain the water while we prepare the rest of the ingredients.
✅ To make Garlic Flavoured Oil:
Heat a small pan and add olive oil, chopped garlic and fry for 4 to 5 seconds and then REDUCE THE HEAT TO THE VERY LOW, this will prevent the garlic from burning. Add the chili flakes, white sesame seeds and fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. DO NOT BROWN THE GARLIC BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE GARLIC SHOULD BE COOKED THROUGH. Once the garlic is cooked through, right away transfer it from the pan to a heat proof bowl. DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE PAN OTHERWISE THE CONTENTS WILL END UP BURNING. Allow the garlic oil to cool down.
👉 NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE GARLIC. IF YOU END UP BURNING OR OVER BROWNING THE GARLIC THE SALAD WILL TASTE BITTER.
✅ Salad Dressing:
Now to a small jar add the lime or lemon juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil. Cover the lid and shake it well to mix.
✅ TO ASSEMBLE THE SALAD:
To a large bowl add the vegetables, cooked spaghetti, the salad dressing, garlic oil and mix until noodles and vegetables is coated with dressing. Serve at room temperature or cold. This makes a great light lunch. You can also pair it with your favourite protein for dinner. You can store the left overs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Undercook the spaghetti noodles by 1 to 2 minutes. I cooked the noodles (al-dente) for 8 minutes
👉 If you do not like spaghetti, YOU COULD USE ANY NOODLES OF YOUR CHOICE
👉 Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
👉 BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE GARLIC. IF YOU END UP BURNING OR BROWNING OTHERWISE THE SALAD WIL TASTE BITTER
👉 Once the garlic is cooked through, right away transfer the garlic oil from the pan to a heat proof bowl. DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE PAN OTHERWISE THE CONTENTS WILL END UP BURNING
👉 ✅ Both BROCCOLI AND SNAP PEAS CAN BE EATEN RAW IN A SALAD. HOWEVER, IF YOUR STOMACH DOES NOT AGREE WITH IT, THEN YOU COULD BLANCH THEM - by adding them to the boiling spaghetti water in the last 30 seconds. Then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process so that it still has a bite to it

Chop the jalapeno or green chilis and garlic. Set it aside. Now drain 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas or 1 can of cooked chickpeas and rinse it.
PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 400 F.
To a 10.5 X 7.5 inches baking pan add the cooked chickpeas, shredded carrots, onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, tomato paste, spices (ground cumin, coriander, paprika) and salt. Mix thoroughly with clean hands, so that each of the vegetables and chickpeas are coated with the spices and tomato paste.
Wet a rectangular piece of parchment paper so that it becomes more pliable and easier to cover the pan. Squeeze to remove any excess water. Cover the pan with the wet parchment paper as shown in the video.
Then Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F for about 35 minutes or until the carrots and onions are soft and cooked. Remove from the oven and then remove the parchment paper. Bake uncovered for about another 8 to 10 minutes to get rid of any excess water. It took me 10 minutes in my oven.

140g / 1+1/2 Cup Unsweetened Medium Shredded Coconut (Desiccated Coconut)
Lemon juice to taste (I have added 1 Tablespoon)
Zest of 1 large lemon / 1/2 Tablespoon
1/3 cup / 80ml / 5 Tablespoon Maple Syrup or Agave or Coconut Nectar or (Non-vegans can use honey)
1 Tablespoon Melted Coconut Oil
1/4 Teaspoon Salt

Transfer the cashews to a wide pan and toast for about 2 to 3 minutes while switching between medium and medium-low heat. Once toasted, remove from heat immediately (to prevent it from burning and spread it out on a plate. Allow it to cool down. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave and zest 1 lemon.
To a food processor add the toasted cashews, unsweetened shredded coconut, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, salt and vanilla extract. Blend until it starts to form a dough. Oil your hand to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Shape it into small balls.
✅ 👉 OPTION 1: COCONUT CASHEW TRUFFLES
Add some fine shredded coconut on to a plate and spread it . Roll the balls until they are coated with the coconut. Serve.
✅ 👉 OPTION 2: CHOCOLATE BOUNTY BALLS
Roll the blended dough into small balls and place it in an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 15 minutes so that it can get a bit firm before coating it with chocolate.
Add the chocolate chips to a HEAT PROOF BOWL. Boil 1 to 2 inches of water in a small pot and place the heat proof bowl on top of the pot, hence creating a double boiler effect. Now reduce the heat to medium-low or low (depending on your stove) to get to a gentle simmer. Allow it to sit for 2 to 3 minutes for the chocolate to melt. Mix well until all the chocolate chips have melted and it reaches a smooth and silky consistency. Then remove form heat. Drop the coconut balls ONE AT A TIME and coat it with chocolate with a spoon. Lift the chocolate coated balls with a fork and place it on parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to set and harden. Store it in an airtight container. IF NEEDED store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Pie Crust Recipe | How to make a Pie Crust | Easy Homemade Pie Crust Recipe
DOUBLE PIE CRUST:
2 1/2 cups (350g) all-purpose flour
Salt - Add: 1/2 teaspoon when using salted butter
1 Teaspoon when using unsalted butter
(Non-vegans can use regular butter)
2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup (If you are making a savory pie, skip the maple syrup and replace it with ice water)
1 cup / 226g Vegan butter, chilled, and cut into small pieces
2 to 3 Tablespoon Ice water (I have added total 3 tablespoons of water)
▶️ SINGLE PIE CRUST:
1 1/4 cup (175g) all-purpose flour
Salt - Add 1/4 teaspoon when using salted butter
1/2 Teaspoon when using unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
1 cup / 113g Vegan butter, chilled, and cut into small pieces
1 to 2 Tablespoon Ice water (I have added 1 tablespoon of water)
▶️ METHOD:
Place the flour, salt, maple syrup and cold butter in a large bowl (If you are making a savory pie, skip the maple syrup and replace it with ice water). Now break the butter into the flour with your finger tips, until the mixture is crumbly. Pour the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough starts to clump together when pinched. Press the mixture into a ball and slightly knead it very lightly.
Now divide the pie dough into two equal pieces, flatten each portion into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour or until firm enough to roll out (This will chill the butter and allow the gluten in the flour to relax). At this point you can also freeze the dough for about a month. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator for several hours or even overnight before using.
Place the pie dough on a floured surface and roll it out to fit into a 9 inch pie pan. To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll. Roll from the center of the pastry outwards to get uniform thickness. To make sure it is the right size, take your pie pan, flip it over, and place it on the rolled out pastry. The pastry should be about 2 inches larger than your pan.
Now if it happens that the pie dough falls apart while rolling - Don't worry! Gather it into a ball, very lightly knead it into a ball and start rolling it again on a floured surface.
When the pastry is rolled to the desired size, gently roll pastry around your rolling pin, unroll onto the top of your pie pan. Do not pull or stretch the pastry (shrinkage is caused by too much pulling of the pastry when placing it in the pan). Gently lay in pan and with your fingertips, lightly press the pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
If you want you can slightly trim the edges but do not trim it too short because the pastry shrinks as it bakes, so we will need a slight overhang. If you don’t want to trim the edges then just fold it in.
Pattern the edges of the pastry as you like. If possible, chill the pie crust (about 15 minutes) before filling and baking. The pie shell is now ready to use. Fill it up according to your pie recipe and bake.
This recipe makes two - 9 inch pie crust.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Cold/chilled butter only
👉 Different brands of flour will absorb water differently. Add 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough starts to clump together when pinched. The dough should not be wet not should it be too dry. I have added total 3 tablespoons of ice water.
👉 If it happens that the dough falls apart while rolling - DON'T WORRY! Gather it into a ball, very lightly knead it and start rolling it again on a floured surface
👉 The rolled out pastry should be about 2 inches larger than your pie pan
👉 Do not pull or stretch the rolled out pastry while laying it in the pan otherwise it may cause shrinkage
👉 If you choose to trim the edges - DO NOT trim it too short because the pastry shrinks as it bakes, so we will need a slight overhang. If you don’t want to trim the edges then just fold/tuck it in for a thicker edge
👉 If you are making a savory pie, skip the maple syrup and replace it with ice water
▶️ BLIND BAKING THE PIE SHELL (OPTIONAL)
Cover and chill the raw pie crust while you preheat the oven to 425F. Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Next cut a large round of parchment paper and place it, onto the pie crust. Fill with pie weights or beans and bake the pie crust for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from oven, remove the parchment and weights. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 F and continue to bake the crust for about 10 more minutes or until the pastry is dry and lightly browned.
Add your desired filling into the blind baked pie crust. Brush edge with plant-based milk and tent the pie edge with foil to prevent it from burning. Bake at 350 F and time it according to your pie recipe

💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan rice recipe.
▶️ BASMATI RICE PILAF RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 cup / 200g White basmati rice (thoroughly washed & then soaked in water for 20 mins and then drained)
2 tablespoon cooking oil
1 cup / 135g onion - chopped
3 garlic cloves / 3/4 Tablespoon - finely chopped
1/2 inch ginger - 1/2 Tablespoon - finely chopped
1 to 2 green chilies (Deseeded) OR 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper OR Indian red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
2 Bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon Garam masala
1+1/2 cup / 350ml water
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 cup / 35g cashew nuts
1/8 to 1/4 cup / 13 to 25g raisins OR ADJUST TO YOUR TASTE
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the rice a few times until the water runs clear. This will get rid of any impurities/gunk and will give a much better/clean taste. Then soak the rice in water for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes drain the water from the rice and leave it to sit in the strainer to drain any excess water, until ready to use.
Transfer the raw cashews to a pan and dry roast it on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Once roasted remove the cashews from the pan and set it aside for later use.
To the same pan add olive oil, onion, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fry on medium heat until the onion is JUST starts to brown. It takes about 5 to 6 minutes. Adding salt to the onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster, so please don’t skip it. Add the finely chopped ginger, garlic, green chilis and fry on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Then reduce the heat to low to prevent the spices from burning. Add the turmeric and garam masala. Fry for 30 seconds to a minute. Be careful not to burn the spices.
Add the soaked/strained rice, salt, water and mix well. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a vigorous boil. Once the water starts to boil, then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Once the rice is cooked, uncover the lid and turn off the heat. Add chopped raisins, and roasted cashews and mix it VERY GENTLY to prevent the the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX THE RICE OTHERWISE IT WILL TURN MUSHY. Serve hot with your favourite curry. This makes 2 TO 3 SERVINGS.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Thoroughly wash the rice until water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk and will give a much better/clean taste
👉 Use a Wider Cooking Pan to make this dish. This will cook the rice evenly and prevent it from getting mushy
👉 Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and will help it cook/caramelize faster, so please don’t skip this step
👉 After adding the cashews and raisins to the cooked rice - mix the rice very carefully and gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX IT at this time because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush

1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 Teaspoon Chilli flake (Optional)
2 cups / (1 Can 540 ml) Cooked chickpeas
1+1/2 cup / 350ml Strained tomatoes/Passata
4 cups / 1 Liter Water
160g / 2 cups approximately - Pasta (mini rigatoni) or pasta of choice
▶️Garnish:
1/3 cup / 15g Parsley - finely chopped
Drizzle of Olive oil - 1 to 2 Tbsp (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
To a heated pan add olive oil, onion , celery, carrot, salt (½ tsp). Fry on medium high heat until the onions are soft and just starts to caramelize. Adding salt to the vegetables will make it cook faster and will season it as well (it's an important step so please do not skip it). Once the onion starts to caramelize, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low (depending of the heat of your stove). Add garlic, oregano, chilli flakes and continue to fry on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
If at any point the pan gets over heat reduce the heat.
Now add the cooked chickpeas, strained tomatoes/passata , water and mix well. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes on low heat for the flavours to develop.
After 15 minutes, uncover the pot and increase the heat to medium and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the pasta and salt and cook uncovered on medium heat until the pasta is al dente. I have added mini rigatoni pasta but you can use any shape/size of pasta of choice.
Please note by the time the pasta if cooked most of the water will be gone and you will be left a creamy sauce. If it happened that the water cooks out faster and the pasta is still not cooked, add some boiling water to it. Please DO NOT add cold water. You can adjust the consistency of the sauce as per your liking whether you want it soupy or thick.
Turn off the stove. Garnish it with finely chopped parsley and a drizzle of a good quality olive oil. Mix well. Ready for serve.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
Adding salt while frying the onion and vegetables will make it cook faster and season it as well, it's an important step so please do not skip it
Every stove is different so adjust the heat accordingly to your stove
you can always adjust the consistency of the sauce to your liking, if you want it soupy or thick creamy
If it happened that the water cooks out faster than anticipated and the pasta is still not cooked, add some boiling water to it. Please DO NOT add cold water to this otherwise it will ruin the taste of the dish
It's important that you garnish the pasta with fresh herbs and a good quality olive oil, it will complete the dish

300g / 3 to 4 small tomatoes
1/3 cup / 15g Parsley - finely chopped
▶️ DRESSING:
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 tablespoon minced/grated garlic
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (OPTIONAL)
2 tablespoon tomato paste
▶️ CHOPPING VEGETABLES:
Eggplant - Cut into 1/2 inch thickness.
For large eggplant cut into semi-circles. Medium size eggplant cut into circles
Red & Green Bell Pepper - Cut into 1 inch thick strips
Potatoes - Cut into wedges
Onion - Cut into 1/2 inch thickness
Tomatoes - cut in half
Parsley - Finely chop
▶️ METHOD:
To prepare the dressing add the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, black pepper, cayenne, salt and Tomato paste in a bowl and mix it well. Set it aside.
Chop The veggies. Now add the dressing to the chopped vegetables (every last bit of it :)) and mix very gently until it coats the vegetables evenly. Take your time and make sure all the veggies are coated well with the dressing. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and transfer the vegetables. Make sure the vegetables are spread it out properly so that it can bake evenly (otherwise they will end up steaming).
Preheat the oven at 400F. Bake the vegetables at 400F for about 45 to 50 minutes. The baking time depends on the type of oven so keep an eye on it so that it does not burn. It took me 50 minutes to bake it in my oven.
You can check by inserting a knife in the potatoes, if the potatoes are cooked then remove it from the ovens. The potatoes should be soft but yet hold their shape.
Once the veggies are baked well. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle finely chopped parsley. A little drizzle of good quality olive oil to the baked veggies is a great addition. All done and ready to eat. You can serve it as a side dish, or even make sandwiches using the roasted vegetables.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
Make sure to slice the onion to 1/2 inch thickness otherwise it will end up burning
Mix the dressing very gently with vegetables, especially the eggplant slices are very tender and may break easily
After transferring the vegetables to the baking tray, spread it out properly so that it can bake evenly, otherwise they will end up steaming
The baking time depends on the type of oven so keep an eye on it so that it does not burn. It took me 50 minutes to bake it in my oven
_ Optional, a little drizzle of a good quality Olive oil to the baked veggies along with the finely chopped parsley completes the dish

Black Bean Pita Sandwich Quick & Easy Vegan Sandwich Recipe using Pita Bread
Black beans are found in cuisine around the world from India to Spain, to Latin America, and beyond.
➡️ I’ll be using this protein-rich ingredient to make stuffed pitas with a flavour that is somewhat reminiscent of Mexican black beans.
Let’s step into the kitchen and get started!
I’ll start by caramelizing the white onion, and adding ginger and garlic before I mix in the cooked beans and seasoning.
➡️ It takes time to get the onions just right, but this is a great excuse to focus on one thing and let your worries slip away as the aroma fills your kitchen.
In the end, you’ll also have great filling for your pita bread and a guilt-free vegan meal!
💬 What are some traditional recipes from your culture that use black beans? Let me know in the comments below!
INGREDIENT LIST:
1 can (540ml) of cooked black beans - 2 cups (340g) drained black beans(unsalted preferably)
3 to 4 tablespoons cooking oil (I have used olive oil)
2 cup Onion (275g) finely chopped (1 large onion 350g by weight with skin on)
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (4 - 5 garlic cloves)
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger (1/2 inch ginger)
Salt to taste ( I have added 1/2 + 1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt because I am using unsalted beans, if you are using the salted kind adjust the quantity accordingly)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (OPTIONAL)
1/4 cup Water (add a bit more water if you think the beans are too dry, use your judgement)
Lemon juice to taste ( I have added 1+1/2 tablespoon on lemon juice, personally I like it slightly sour but you do you)
Whole wheat pita (medium size)
▶️ METHOD:
Add oil to a heated pan. Add the onion and salt and cook on medium-high until the onions start to caramelize. It’s important that you add salt at this point, this will help the onion to release the water and cook faster, it will take about 5 to 6 minutes approximately.
Once the onion starts to caramelize, reduce the heat to medium-low, now add the finely chopped ginger and garlic. Cook until the onions are golden brown in colour it will take about 3 to 4 minutes. Cooking in medium- low heat will help the onions to cook more evenly without burning it.
Once the onion looks golden brown right away add the cooked black beans and mix well. Add paprika, ground cumin, cayenne and mix thoroughly. Now increase the heat to medium-high and fry the beans until they are little crispy, for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the water and mix again. Adding a tiny bit of water will keep the beans moist. Now turn off the heat. Add lemon juice, mix and then mash the beans with a potato masher.
Cover and set it aside to slightly cool down. It’s important that you cover the lid, this will prevent the beans from drying out. (If you think the beans looks/tastes dry, add a tiny bit of olive oil).
Now cut the pita in half and fill the pita pockets with the bean mix (about 3 to 4 tablespoons each). Brush one side of the pita with oil and then place it on a heated pan, grill on medium to medium-high heat for about a minute. Brush the other side with oil and flip and grill for another minute. Serve hot with your favourite dip.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
It's really important to take the time to cook the onions to golden brown that's were all the flavour comes from for this dish
Every stove is different to the cooking time and heat may vary so adjust accordingly
Make sure not to over do the quantity of ginger otherwise the filling may get bitter

💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan Lentil curry recipe
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings approx.)
1 cup / 180g Dry red lentils - Soak lentils in water for 1 hour
500g Squash (cut into cubes) - I have used Butternut squash, you could also use pumpkin or acorn squash
100g / 3 cups Spinach leaves - chopped
2 to 3 tablespoon olive oil OR oil of choice
1+1/2 cup / 200g Onion
1 Tablespoon Ginger - finely chopped
2 tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped
3/4 cup / 175ml Tomato puree / Passata (strained tomatoes)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/8 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (OPTIONAL)
4 cups / 900ml water OR Vegetable broth/stock
Salt to taste ( I added total 1+3/4 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
👉 Garnish:
1/2 cup / 20g fresh Cilantro / Coriander leaves
1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Lemon Juice to taste (I added 1/2 Tablespoon but you do you)
Drizzle of Olive Oil (I added 1 tablespoon of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the red lentils a few times, until the water runs clear and then soak for 1 hour. Finely chop the onion, ginger and garlic. Chop the squash in to 1 inch cubes (approx.).
To a heated pan add the cooking oil, onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fry on medium heat until the onions are lightly browned. Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip this step.
Add the ginger and garlic and fry for another 1 minute or until fragrant. Now reduce the heat to low and add the spices (turmeric, ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, asafoetida and cayenne pepper). Fry on low heat for about 1 minute or so. Add the tomato puree or passata and mix well. Cook the puree for another 2 minutes. Add the chopped squash, soaked/strained red lentils, salt to taste, water and mix well. Turn up the heat, cover the lid and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, give it a mix and cover the lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low (or low depending on the heat of your stove). Cook on medium-low heat for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the lentils are completely cooked.
✅ 👉 NOTE: The cooking time of the lentils depends on the quality of the lentils. One batch of red lentils maybe drier than the others and may need more cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY. It took me 30 minutes on my stove.
Once the lentils are cooked uncover and give it a mix. Whisk the with the spatula to break down the lentils, this will make the dish creamy. Now increase the heat to medium and bring the lentils to a boil. Add the chopped spinach leaves and mix well. Cook the spinach for about 1 minute or so. Turn off the heat.
✅ 👉 NOTE: If the curry is too thick for your liking, you can thin it out with boiling water. DO NOT add cold water to it, otherwise it will ruin the taste.
Add the chopped cilantro, ground black pepper, lemon juice, drizzle of a good quality extra virgin olive oil. Mix well. Serve hot with a steamed rice/naan, green side salad and some pickle.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
👉 How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You should be able to cut a lentil piece with your nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak longer
👉 Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
👉 Cooking time of the lentils depends on the quality of the lentils. Sometimes one batch of red lentils are drier than the others and may need more cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY. It took me 30 minutes on my stove

SAVORY CHICKPEA WALNUT PIE Recipe Easy Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes
avory chickpea walnut pie recipe for vegetarian and vegan meals for the holidays. This easy chickpeas recipe for a hearty vegetarian pie has a savory pie filling made with chickpeas and walnuts. An easy vegan chickpea recipe to try today.
💬 Let me know if you enjoyed my vegan pie recipe.
▶️ PIE RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
100g / 1 Cup Raw Walnuts
100g Sun-Dried Tomatoes (Oil Based) - (1/2 Cup chopped approx.)
2 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
2 Tablespoon Garlic - Chopped
Salt to taste (I added 1/4 Teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Salt)
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml) Cooked Chickpeas
130g / 1 cup Onion - chopped
3 to 4 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 to 3 Tablespoon Water as required - to sprinkle on the cooked filling just to prevent it from getting dry. 👉 DO NOT OVER DO IT OTHERWISE THE FILLING WILL GET SOGGY AND RUIN THE TASTE.
10 Sheets of Phyllo Pastry (available in freezer section of the grocery stores)
Olive Oil to Brush the Pasty
👉 9 Inch Pie Pan or Cake Pan
👉 Non-Stick Pan to cook the filling
▶️ METHOD:
Thaw the phyllo pastry as per package instructions.
👉 CHICKPEA WALNUT FILLING:
Drain 2 cups or 1 can of cooked chickpeas. To a food processor add walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, paprika, dried thyme, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic, salt and blend. then add 1 cup of cooked chickpeas, onion and blend to a smooth consistency. Transfer the mixture to a non-stick pan and add olive oil. Fry switching between medium-high, medium and medium-low heat until the mixture is nicely toasted and crumbly. There should be no raw bits left. This is an important step so be patient and take some time to roasting the mixture well to get rid of the raw flavour of the onion and garlic. This process takes about 15 minutes. Once the mixture is roasted, add remainder of the cooked chickpeas and mix well.
👉 ✅ Now add/sprinkle water (OR AS REQUIRED) on the cooked mixture. TURN OFF THE HEAT and then mix. COVER THE LID IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT THE FILLING FROM DRYING OUT. Adding water to the filling will add back the moisture - needed for better binding. So when you slice the pie the filling will hold well and not get crumbly. Allow it to cool down.
✅ Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
Carefully unroll the thawed phyllo pastry (To prevent the phyllo from drying out while you work, place the sheets in between two clean kitchen towels). On a 9 inch pie pan, layer 10 sheets of phyllo pastry in a STAR PATTERN. Brush each layer with olive oil. Make sure to brush the side with oil as well. Once it's lined, transfer the filling on to the pastry and start to wrap it. Once again brush each layer with oil.
Bake in a pre-heated 350F Oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. BAKING TIME MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR OVEN SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie pan to rest on the cooling rack for 3 to 4 minutes to slightly cool down and then remove the pie from the pan and rest it directly on the cooling rack to cool down.
Cut the pie with a serrated knife and serve with chutney/spicy ketchup for a tea time snack. For a light meal, pair it with a side salad. It re-heats really well in the oven.
✅ TO RE-HEAT: ** Place the pie on a baking tray/pan and place it in the cold oven and then turn on the oven and pre-heat to 350F. When the oven reaches to 350F, then TURN OFF the oven and let the pie sit in the heat for 3 to 4 minutes and then remove from the oven, Serve.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Fry the raw mixture switching between medium-high, medium and medium-low heat until the mixture is nicely toasted and crumbly. There should be no raw bits left, so it's really important that you take your time to fry the mixture. It took me about 15 minutes.
👉 Sprinkling water to the cooked filling will add back the moisture - needed for better binding. So when you slice the pie the filling will hold well.
👉 Since the phyllo sheets are so thin, it has a tendency to dry out fast and crack. So you will have to work with it right away, after removing it from the package without delay
👉 Carefully unroll the thawed phyllo pastry. To prevent the phyllo from drying out and breaking while you work, place the sheets in between two clean kitchen towels
👉 BAKING TIME MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR OVEN
