So true, Kumudha. Reducing the consumption of animal products can significantly help improve the environment, as studies have shown. Besides, with all the wonderful products available these days, it is almost too easy to be vegan. I thought it'd be difficult to give up dairy, but today I'm in love with soy milk and I am never going back!
hey Kumudha!!
Thanks for appreciating the recipe. I read your thoughts about a vegan diet and am impressed! I will try to go vegan atleast 3 days a week.
nice info kumuda.

Given that vegan alternatives are not available freely in India, going vegan a couple of days is a practical option, a sort of upvas/ fasting equivalent.
You're absolutely right. There's no excuse.
I didn't know the blog "holy cow" from your recommended list. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for getting this conversation started, it is so important to recognize the broader impacts of meat-consumption. Check out the "No Meat Week" campaign and help make a difference:
