Vegan Chickpea Yakhni Pilau

by Tazim Damji

Vegan Chickpea Yakhni Pilau

At many special occasions in my family and community pilau or yakhni are served. These are dishes that generally take a bit of preparation to put together and quite a lot of ingredients. These dishes are always looked forward to, well-enjoyed, and highly praised. Unfortunately for me and other vegans/vegetarians, these traditional dishes always contain meat. My vegan chickpea yakhni pilau is a spin on a well-known classic. Not only is my vegan chickpea yakhni pilau meat-free, it also comes ...

Vegan Pav Bhaji Recipe

by Tazim Damji

Vegan Pav Bhaji

Celebrating how much you love you partner, children or others doesn't have to mean defaulting to the old standbys of breakfast in bed or cake. I've always been partial to meals that make me feel warm and cozy inside; meals served at home and made with love. While others I know celebrate anniversaries and how much they love each other out at restaurants where prices are raised for occasions like Valentine's Day, I've always preferred to cook at home. Cooking a meal at home, preferably with ...

Easy Vegan Haleem

Easy Vegan Haleem

Sometimes, you want a quick meal; something that is easy to put together and eat. Other times, a slow meal is what you're craving. In the case of haleem, you'll be able to enjoy the process of making the meal, plus the end result (isn't it great when you can love the journey AND the destination?). But, just because haleem is a slow-cooking kind of meal, that doesn't mean that it's hard to create.

Multicooker Indian Potato Curry with Steamed Rice Recipe

by Tazim Damji

Indian Potato Curry

Potatoes are one of my favourite things to eat. The "problem" is, I often want to make Indian potato curry with them, whenever I have them at home. There are so many different ways to prepare potatoes for Indian curries—for instance, you can make it quite gravy-like with tomatoes, ground nuts, and a few other ingredients. You can also make it on the dry side (which is what I did with the recipe below), with lots of jeera (cumin seeds), to be eaten with flat bread (like roti or naan). I love flat ...
