What can I say, I love Indian food. It is my all time favorite and I just can’t get enough. Nevertheless, I am veganizing it to make it healthier than the traditional way is, since that is usually made with a lot of ghee butter and fat dairy cream. In this latest recipe I do not use any oil at all and instead of dairy I am using coconut milk, which being a plant based is cholesterol free and overall much healthier. Not to mention, cruelty free.

The more I am recreating the traditional recipes to vegan versions, the more I am discovering that the taste is really in the spices and this recipe is just another confirmation of that. My daughter said that it tasted just like from an Indian restaurant. It is truly super delicious, highly nutritious and hearty. I have no doubt you will love, if you are fan of Indian food like I am. 

In addition to that, these magnificent spices not only give delicious aromatic taste to any dish, but are having substantial healing properties as well.

Medical literature and scientific studies lists a variety of health benefits and medicinal properties of Indian herbs and spices. The benefits range from aphrodisiac properties to anti-cancer properties, from anti-inflammatory properties to blood sugar and cholesterol reducing properties, from relief of morning sickness and sore throat to treating heart ailments - the list goes on. It is neither the scope of this Web page nor am I qualified to discuss these in great details. Listed below are some well recognized health benefits of some of the more commonly used spices in Indian cooking. For those who are interested in knowing more details of these health benefits of the various spices, I have provided some online references towards the bottom of this page. Extensive literature is available on the subject both online and in print. Read more
