Whether it is a creamy kadhi or a rich dahi tikhari, my consulting focuses on training your kitchen staff to handle plant-based alternatives with the same confidence they have with dairy, ensuring every guest leaves satisfied. ### My Approach to Traditional Vegan Feasts When I curate a menu, I look at the science of food through a compassionate lens. For me, 'reimagining' doesn't mean changing the dish; it means finding the original essence and recreating it using plants. #### Why This Works * **Nostalgia-Driven:** My food is inspired by the flavours we grew up with—think ratalu puri, bajra rotis, and the comfort of a well-balanced thali. I bring that same maakehaathkakhana (food cooked by mother’s hands) feeling to large-scale events. * **Technical Precision:** Vegan cooking at this scale requires understanding ingredients. I teach kitchens how to make in-house plant-based ghee, fermented soy-cashew curds, and millet-based doughs that hold structure without gluten. * **Scalability:** From private home gatherings to large festive events, I provide the workflow and recipes to ensure consistency. My work with the 56 Bhog for Janmashtami proved that you can offer 56 distinct, delicious dishes without a drop of dairy. #### How I Help Your Kitchen I offer two primary tiers of consulting to ensure your team is fully equipped: 1. **Menu Refresh:** Ideal for restaurants looking to add a plant-based section. This includes 8 to 10 recipes, three days of onsite staff training, and ingredient sourcing support. 2. **Full Kitchen Design:** A deep dive into plant-based operations. I spend seven days on-site, teaching your chefs how to create dairy alternatives from scratch, manage waste, and execute complex, multi-course feasts for festivals like Navratri, Onam, or Janmashtami. Everything I do is rooted in the belief that Indian cuisine is naturally versatile. We are just bringing the compassion back into our traditions. ## About The Vedic Kitchen I started The Vedic Kitchen because I believe our festive traditions and comfort foods shouldn't require sacrifice. My mission is to show that your favourite thalis and elaborate feasts can be vibrant, rich, and 100% plant-based.
