I help kitchens create robust, hearty mains that feel as familiar and comforting as the traditional dishes they replace. ## Photos and videos - ![A hearty, flavour-packed Portobello mushroom steak.

Whether it is scoring a Portobello mushroom to ensure it absorbs marinade like a steak or slow-cooking soya chaap for that authentic nihari texture, I train your kitchen staff to treat these ingredients with the same precision and technique as the meat versions they replace. Transitioning a menu to be more inclusive shouldn't feel like a sacrifice for the diner. In the busy dining landscape of Delhi NCR, customers are increasingly looking for 'conscious' options that still hit that emotional spot. My approach to vegan menu development focuses on creating mains that are substantial, profitable, and genuinely delicious. ### Why focus on hearty mains? Most plant-based menus fail because they treat vegetables as an afterthought. I help you change that. We look at the 'meatiness' factor—using raw jackfruit, soya chaap, and mushrooms—to recreate the textures of traditional dishes like nihari or steaks. This isn't about using processed substitutes; it is about knowing how to handle fresh, whole foods. ### How I work with your kitchen I don't just hand over recipes. I provide hands-on, on-site staff training where we cover: - **Texture Engineering:** How to handle raw jackfruit or soya to achieve the perfect bite. - **Marinade Science:** Ensuring plant-based proteins absorb flavour as deeply as animal proteins. - **Plating & Presentation:** Making sure the final dish looks as inviting as it tastes. By teaching your team the science behind these flavours, I ensure that your kitchen can handle the demand consistently. Whether you are a small cafe or a larger restaurant, my goal is to help you build a plant-based section that your customers will actually order again, rather than just listing it to tick a box. ## About The Vedic Kitchen I am Preeti Kapasi, founder of The Vedic Kitchen.
