India's culinary culture is rich in plant-based heritage, a lot of which is vegan by default without any need for any substitutions or exchange. Such traditional foods are not only compassionate to animals—they're rich in flavor, nutrition, and cultural richness.
 
Key Highlights:
 
Chana Masala: A North Indian classic that employs chickpeas, tomatoes, onions, and warm spices. No meat, no milk—just plain, full-bodied comfort with every bite.

Khichdi: Comforting lentil-rice soup that's healthy and vegan unto itself if prepared with oil rather than ghee. A recovery meal favorite or comforting dinner.

Masala Dosa: Fermented rice-lentil crepes filled with spiced mashed potato. Paired with coconut chutney and sambar, it's a South Indian dish that's entirely plant-based.
 
Baingan Bharta: Mashed smoked eggplant cooked in spices, onions, and tomatoes. A simple yet highly satisfying dish.

Rajma: Red kidney beans in tomato-onion sauce. Serve over rice for a Punjabi comfort food that's high in protein.
 
Vegetable Pulao: Flavourful basmati rice with seasonal vegetables and spices, cooked. Simply leave out the ghee and cook in oil to veganize it.

Tofu Palak: A dairy-free version of saag paneer, using tofu instead of paneer in a rich spinach curry.
 
Aloo Gobi: Potato and cauliflower dry stir-fry with cumin, coriander, and turmeric. A week-day favorite that is 100% plant-based.
 
These meals illustrate that Indian cuisine has always had a place in its heart for vegetables—prior to the word "vegan" being trendy.
