4 toothsome delicacies in American-Indian style for vegans and veg buffs
Mumbai: ‘Go veg, go vegan’, is the new food mantra. More and more people are turning toward veganism and vegetarian diet from health point of view.
Turning vegetarian or vegan has many health benefits. Not only it helps you in weight management and loss but also increases your fiber intake from plant based foods which helps to fight against various chronic diseases. Getting healthy and glowing skin, balanced blood pressure and improved cholesterol are just few more added benefits.
But at times it’s difficult to make a pick at a eatery when you plan to eat out because of your limited food choice. Not many restaurants have menu especially for such customers.
Hence, in order to adapt to this new food trend many restaurants in India are focused on bringing something for their veg and vegan customers, in order to please them. Not only they are ready to serve what the customers want but are also ready to experiment and curate a new menu for them.
Here’s a list that we have complied for all our vegetarian and vegan food lovers. Give these mouthwatering dishes a try, next time you plan to go out:

Wouldn’t you opt for a burger that’s organic and healthy? This is the perfect pick when it comes to eating something healthy. The burger is stuffed with organic potato patty with fine chopped chillies. No doubt it’s spicy but the sour taste of creamy cheese balances it. If you are a vegan, you can still eat this treat and replace cheese with some other sauce of your choice.
"Vegetarianism isn't just a fad, I feel as time moves forward more people will be adopting a meat free lifestyle. However, just filling your diet and veggies won't do you any good if you know nothing of their origin," says Parag Vakil, executive chef, The American Joint.
