Where’s the recipe for the Cajun Roasted Veggie Bowl with Garlic Sauce? When I click the link I go to the recipe for the cauliflower steaks. These all look amazing btw.
oops updated it. here it is https://www.veganricha.com/2018/02/cajun-roasted-vegetable-bowl-with-garlic-sauce.html
Ooh, I have been meaning to try out your peanut tofu! Sounds weird, but I would love to try it out with sunflower seed butter or almond butter 😀 the vegan tinga and Korean gochajaru bowls also look to die for. And I always love eating my meals in bowls! They are the best medium for eating off of!
yes indeed
I feel like I just hit the jackpot receiving this post! Every one of these look amazing. Thank you so much for sharing these. I just got some shallow bowls, 8 inch, maybe, from Target. I think they were labeled as pasta bowls. I can’t wait to use them for these scrumptious recipes!
yes, pasta bowls work really well
What a beautiful collection.. thank you ☺️
Thanks!
I have a question for you…In your Indian Kitchen book (which I’m loving by the way) , the recipe for Kofta Balls in Cream Sauce states you can make it vegan by switching out paneer for tofu. I don’t see an amount for either ingredient. Please advise.
Thank you !
thats if you already have a regular kofta recipe that you use or an old favorite. Then you can just sub the paneer cheese in that recipe with tofu. it would depend on the recipe. Most malai kofta recipes are similar with paneer cheese, potato, spices etc.
I changed the original dairy recipe up quite a bit to keep it tofu-free and allergen friendly for the book.
Bowl question:
Richa, can you recommend some big bowls for serving/eating these vegan bowls? All my bowls are too small! Thanks for all the great recipes.
(typing this post while eating labrador with tofu. Yum! spicy!)
i use 8 inch shallow bowls or pasta bowls in most pictures. You can find shallow bowls in most stores ranging from 6 inch to 10 inch, so get the size that works for you in terms of serving.
