Vegan roti chapati
These everyday vegan rotis are soft, supple and made with whole-wheat flour, water and a little practice. Cooked on a hot tawa, they are the natural companion to dal, sabzi and curry.
Soft Whole Wheat Chapati
These soft whole-wheat chapatis puff on a hot pan and stay tender enough to fold around curry or dal. A short ingredient list and a well-rested dough are all you need.
Garlic Naan
Soft vegan naan bubbles and chars in a hot pan before being brushed with garlicky melted butter and fresh coriander. It is pillowy, fragrant and almost impossible not to tear into immediately.
Peshwari Naan
Peshwari naan encloses a sweet, fragrant filling of coconut, nuts and dried fruit inside soft, blistered bread. It is a lovely foil for a hot curry and a treat in its own right.
Creamy Tofu Curry with Homemade Roti
Creamy baked tofu in a rich, spiced tomato sauce, served with soft homemade roti for a comforting vegan meal.
Tomato Chutney Recipe (For Idli & Dosa)
This South Indian tomato chutney cooks ripe tomatoes with chilli, lentils and aromatics until jammy and bright. A mustard-seed tempering makes it especially good beside idli or dosa.
Walnut Chutney
Roasted walnuts give this chilli-spiked chutney an earthy richness and creamy body. It is an unusual but compelling partner for idli, dosa, fritters or a generously filled wrap.
Dosa Recipe
A properly fermented rice-and-lentil batter makes dosas crisp at the edges, lacy across the centre and faintly tangy. Serve them straight from the pan with sambar and fresh chutney.
Puffed Indian Bread (Poori)
Poori is a small whole-wheat bread that balloons in hot oil, becoming crisp outside and soft within. Served straight away with curry or pickle, it turns a meal into an occasion.
