Vegetarian Indian Food Recommendations

[Webimpulse]

Namaste all!

In the intervening months between when I last took a break from HDF and now, I've arranged (with the help of a board member of the local Hindu temple around here) an...interesting diet plan for myself. Basically this guy is hooking me up with leftover Indian restaurant food on a weekly basis (for a fee of course). :Cool:

Included in the possible dishes I can suggest to them (I get random dishes each week to keep things interesting, so while do have a say, it's not guaranteed) are, of course, vegetarian dishes. In an effort to be more vegetarian (I do still eat meat once in a while but I'm trying to cut down significantly) I would like some recommendations. I like dishes such as palak paneer for starters...hopefully that's a good guideline for what I like.

I've found that while I can't stand many vegetables (which I know is an impediment to becoming vegetarian), I've found Indian spices and herbs can make certain veggies I otherwise wouldn't like to be palatable for me. So that's one other thing. If any of you need any more info to be able to recommend things, then please ask and I will give it. :)

Thank you for all these wonderful recipes. Since my undergrad days I have wanted to explore food and it's nutritional value. Through the younger years of my life I have eaten meat. A professor in college helped me understand that most of these animals weren't themselves meat eating! Nutrition: Concepts and Controversies (https://www.bartleby.com/textbooks/nutrition-concepts-and-controversies-standalone-book-mindtap-course-list-14th-edition/9781305627994/solutions) was a wonderful introduction then. Over the last decade or so, there has been a huge surge in the public interest in nutrition and what sustains us. Interestingly, these vegetarian recipes have been 'movers and shakers' of a sort. :) People have created this exciting world around vegetarian recipes (both old and new). It's the sheer variety in ingredients, spices and cooking methodologies that has given vegetarianism such a fillip. Thank you again for these timeless recipes. Namaste!
