I added ginger paste to a salsa I made yesterday and I simmered that for a bit, added the masalas, added frozen spinach and cooked it until it was soft then I used the immersion blender to make it smooth, then I added the tofu and simmered it for quite a while to bring it all together and wait for the brown rice

the salsa was just roasted chilis, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice

My wife is allergic to alliums so this is no onion, no garlic but it would have been great if there were roasted onions in the salsa and I used ginger garlic paste.

Yummm, that looks amazing! Indian curries are sooo good. I’ve made a few, but never a spinach one. It’s been on my list of things to make, but I think I’d go with palak aloo and do the tofu in a coconut makhani sauce.

The one thing I really haven’t got a good handle on is naan, or roti. I guess there is a restaurant near me that does vegan roti, but I should really try and figure out a way to do it myself.

Damnit, now I want Indian food! xD

I had a lot of practice and can make chapatis and rotis no problem, I’ll make some tomorrow and post about my process. My real dream is to get the rotimatic to add to my robot collection lol https://rotimatic.com/.

Naan is a bit harder because to do it right first I need to make yogurt and it really comes out best in a tandoor. Whenever I make soy yogurt I end up eating it all before I use it in naan, but to that point I’m going to soak some soybeans now so I can have some in 3 days.

One of the users in the discord suggested soaking the tofu in lemon juice to give it a bit of the paneer sourness and I will definitely do that next time. I have a bunch of fresh lemons too because it’s citrus season here and they’re falling off everyone’s trees now.

That rotimatic is amazing. There’s no way there’s room for it on my counter, though. XD

I’ve never made any soy stuff myself. I usually just buy prepackaged tofu. I’ve been meaning to give it a shot for a while, but it’s a little intimidating, so I haven’t got around to it just yet. I guess if I go for making naan I’d have to learn both!

I like the idea of the citric acid to kinda get that lactic tang. I guess you could probably also just use lactic acid? Although that’s something you’d probably have to buy a bunch of online. Lemme know how your tofu-neer comes out with the lemon!

Vegan Home Cooks

!homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org

Create post

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.

Be nice and supportive, no one cares about your criticism or fixes. If it isn’t nice and positive your comment will be removed


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a “food porn” community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don’t care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we’re excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn’t required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Grown Ups Only.

Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn’t a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.
