Those saying that the Indian population is protein deficient, stunted, and anemic: You're correct. Only a fraction has a balanced, protein-rich vegetarian diet as the norm.
But you don't have to make that mistake. There are thousands upon thousands of perfectly healthy vegan recipes in our repository. Use them.
Hi it’s me. Someone who is vegetsrianish (moving towards cooking no meat at home (save for occasional fish and eating it on vacation or special occasions - kids 4th of July bbq party). I’m actually trying to get deep into Indian cuisine where I can find a balance of flavor and meeting all the nutritional needs while not porking out on carbs.
This is a very good starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46wFhxCbI6w
The vast majority of our protein comes from lentils, pulses, and beans. But not all of it is just stew.
A very tasty treat that actually tastes better than meat and would do well at a 4th of July cookout or bbq is something called 'soya chaap'. Not exactly healthy, but high in protein. Myriads of recipes on youtube.
