Here’s a compilation of vegetarian dishes with recipes that we have shared on Instagram. Tag @kpfoodheaven with all the recipes that you try!

Jam Biscuits - These jam biscuits have been one of my new favourites. I've only just blogged it but have made this a few times and they have been just as good every time! It is super quick and easy to make with ingredients likely sitting in your pantry. The recipe a combination of a basic biscuit containing flour, butter, sugar that is paired with a perfectly balanced jam. I always make extra jam to have with my toast and muesli so these quantities will have some leftovers but you can reduce the quantities to make less. It tastes even better when you get in-season strawberries/raspberries or any fruit flavoured jam that you like. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Biscuits ☕️ 🫖 🍪 👩‍🍳

Walnut and Cinnamon Loaf - There is nothing like eating fresh bread and this long weekend was an opportunity for me to experiment with some bread making. I was inspired by watching Masterchef Australia and Phillippa Grogan's bread making technique! I was happy this bread required minimal kneading and tasted just as good. If you are looking for a great alternative to white bread or a break from sourdough loaf, this combination is so nutty and full of flavour! I've always loved cinnamon in my food and eating this with butter and cheese is just perfect. I made a small loaf of 250 gms to try it out but you can always double up the ingredients to get a full 500 gms loaf!

Puran Poli - After a long break of moving house and getting myself inspired again to cook my favourite foods, I thought it was only right to start with something sweet. Puran Poli is an Indian sweet roti made with chana daal and jaggery and served with a generous dollop of ghee. It can be eaten as a snack or dessert. I've grown up eating this as an evening snack as its very traditional to Maharashtra and available at most farsan shops. As I enjoy my week long break, this recipe is definitely one for the weekend as it requires time and effort to ensure its perfect!

Vegan Pho (Pho Chay) - After my first attempt at making pho, here is my version of Vegan Pho. For those who have not heard of Pho before: Pho is a Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, rice noodles (bánh phở) and fresh herbs. Traditionally meat based, Pho Chay is the vegetarian version eaten widely across Vietnam. I've always enjoyed Vietnamese food even though I have never travelled to Vietnam. My exposure to Vietnamese cuisine has been mainly by trying out multiple Vietnamese restaurants in London and tasting varied versions of Pho. This again was one of the dishes I never thought I would make at home. But lockdown got me craving this! The dish does require a lot of patience and time so it is definitely one for the time you wish to spend time and enjoy the cook!

Paneer, Spinach and Tomato Salad - Lately, I have been taking inspiration of Asian food from this cookbook titled East by Meera Sodha. This recipe as described in the book is a deconstructed version of saag paneer. I am usually not a fan of salad as I find them quite raw and bland. But this recipe had all ingredients cooked (apart from the spinach) and sounded so full of flavour that I had to try it. You cannot go wrong with a combination of spinach, paneer and tomatoes! Plus the addition of a very Indianised dressing really transforms this salad!

Vegetarian Lasagne - I have spent a lot of time during this lockdown watching Masterchef Australia and getting ideas and inspiration for recipes. Whilst a lot of it is meat based, I take every opportunity to take note of the occasional vegetarian food that they share. One of the recipes I had to try was Matt Preston's Vegetarian Lasagne. This recipe combines the tanginess of a Tomato sauce with a Spinach Béchamel. The whole dish works so well together. I'll admit, it has quite a lot of ingredients. However, the outcome is so worth it and delicious! I have modified the recipe slightly to use what I had in my pantry but I will state alternatives as I list the ingredients! @masterchefau @mattscravat

Another post from the archives, that we had posted when we just started blogging with slight modifications to the recipe! The days when I crave some Thai food, this is one of my favourites. This was my attempt to make this curry without using a ready-made curry paste as I have previously done. Thai food in my opinion is very similar to Indian food, full of flavour and spice and with this curry, I have tried to bring it all together! If you love peanut and coconut based curries, this one is for you to try!

Tomato, Carrot and Ginger Soup - Winter days are for warm comforting yet healthy food. Whilst I visited my family in India, I noticed that my mum used a lot of ginger in her food. Taking inspiration from that, I thought of this recipe on an evening I didn't want to put a lot of effort and yet have a fresh and delicious home cooked meal. This recipe requires only 5 ingredients, readily available in most kitchens with a season of salt and pepper. This recipe is ready in under 30 minutes delivering maximum taste. Enjoyed best with bread or on its own as a wholesome bowl of happiness, do try this one!

Vegan Pho/Pho Chay - This is the first time that I have made a broth from scratch. I have always enjoyed eating pho outside but never had the patience to make something so complex and delicious at home. With this blog, I’ve experimented with food more than ever! The recipe is still a work in progress and will be shared soon. Just wanted to share my first attempt, which turned out delicious nonetheless! This was one of those dishes that I surprised myself with the outcome and I’m looking forward to making it again with a few tweaks!
