I developed specific techniques using soy-cashew curd for dishes like *dahi tikhari* and creamy coconut-based bases that maintain that rich, authentic mouthfeel you expect in a Gujarati thali. It is about proving that tradition does not have to mean sacrifice, and you can achieve that classic, soulful flavour without any animal suffering. ### Why Traditional Indian Food Needs a Vegan Makeover Indian food is built on emotion—it's the comfort of *maakehaathkakhana* (food made by mum) that we all crave. Too often, people assume that going vegan means losing that nostalgia. My goal in these workshops is to bridge that gap. I don't just give you recipes; I show you how to swap ingredients without losing the texture or depth of flavour. ### The Techniques We Master In my Gurgaon kitchen, we focus on the science of plant-based substitutions that actually work for Indian palates: * **The Dairy Swap:** We move beyond store-bought alternatives by making our own *veganghee* and nut-based curds that don't split when heated. * **Festive Feasts:** From preparing a dairy-free 56 Bhog for Janmashtami to crafting gluten-free, millet-based puranpoli, we tackle the complex items that usually define our festivals. * **Whole Ingredients:** We use zero refined sugar or maida. Instead, we rely on jaggery, millets, and fresh, organic produce to build our flavour profiles. ### What You Will Learn Whether you are a home cook looking to transition your family to healthier habits or a food enthusiast curious about plant-based techniques, my sessions are designed for you. * **Hands-on Experience:** You will knead, mix, and taste. It is not a spectator sport; you learn by doing. * **Beyond the Recipe:** I teach you how to source ingredients in NCR, how to troubleshoot when a texture isn't right, and how to maintain the nutritional integrity of your food. * **Take-home Support:** Every workshop concludes with a folder of recipes, plus bonus notes for home practice, ensuring you have the confidence to recreate these feasts long after the class ends. ## About The Vedic Kitchen I’m Preeti, the force behind The Vedic Kitchen, and I believe Indian comfort food shouldn't cost the earth. My mission is to show you that your family's favourite traditional recipes can be completely plant-based and still taste like the food you grew up with.
