Paneer, Spinach and Tomato Salad

Sharing our Vegetarian Food and love for cooking

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

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!

Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Crepe) with Peanut Sauce - I was browsing through my archives and came across one of the first recipes that I ever posted. The time that I was still figuring out how to blog. From the heart of Vietnam, here is my take on a veggie version of the traditional meat based crepe with a sweet and spicy peanut sauce. The combination of the crepe, peanut sauce and the freshness of the vegetables is divine and so healthy! It is perfect for a weekend breakfast or evening snack! This has become one of my favourites and the addition of fresh herbs make all the difference to the taste.

Kimchi Pancakes with Spinach Salad - A Korean classic that I only recently realised how versatile it is! From eating it right out of the jar to adding it to your salad as a topping or making fried rice out of it, I decided to make Kimchi Pancakes. Recently I have been experimenting a lot with Asian vegetarian cooking. Using Meera Sodha’s book, East as inspiration and @gimme__chi delicious vegan kimchi, I cooked up this delicious evening snack served with a spinach salad and sweet and spicy soya sauce. The combination was perfect.

Paneer Fajitas - Fajitas is yet another popular Mexican dish. Traditionally served in a tortilla, I have served mine in soft shell corn tortilla wraps (Recipe on blog: Mexican Soft Shell Corn Tacos). However, plain tortillas work equally as good. This is the first time I made my own fajita mix as opposed to getting the readymix fajita mix kit from El Paso. I was inspired from Neha Deepak Shah's recipe whose mix worked so much better than the ones you get outside. I used paneer as my filling along with some portobello mushrooms, peppers and onions and served it with salsa and cheese. You can also choose to enjoy your fajitas with some sour yogurt, guacamole - all the recipes in our very popular Mexican Soft Shell Corn Tacos blog.
