Majjige huli(saucy yogurt with vegetables) is a classic recipe from South India.
I grew up eating Majjige huli with hot rice in Bangalore. Now, I'm a vegan and I make Majjige Huli with Soyogurt. The key to make delicious vegan Majjige huli is to use unsweetened soy yogurt. I use wildwood Soyogurt(high fibre unsweetened plain). This soyogurt is so much like Indian yogurt - a bit sour.
I made Majjige Huli by following Ramya's blog Mane Adige. The Majjige huli was so yummy.

Vegan Hayagreeva
Indian cuisine is flooded with sweet dishes. And it's so easy to veganize the recipes.
Hayagreeva is a common sweet dish in some Hindu temples. Yesterday I made Hayagreeva by following Meera's hayagreeva recipe in Kalpavriksha Kamadhenu blog.
Since Meera used ghee, I used Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread in the recipe. Hayagreeva was so delicious. And I'm sure I will be making this yummy sweet regulary.

Vegans in India
Milk and milk products such as buttermilk and ghee play an important role in Indian cuisine. Whenever I visit India, and when I say that I don't consume milk and milk products, everyone feels that something is seroiusly wrong with me...
While it's very common to be a vegetarain in India, the concept of vegan lifestyle is still in an initial stage. Thanks to Peta and other organizations, people are now starting to think about the cruel production of milk in India. Oxytocin harmone is induced to cows to produce more milk in India.
I read a wonderful article about the growing number of vegans in India in Outlook magazine. Read the article - Sylph O’ The Green here .
The American Dietetic Association states that "appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life-cycle including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence and for athletes."
So go ahead and try to become vegan! Vegan diet or plant-based diet is not only good for your health but also great for our beautiful planet - Earth.
