The world is rapidly moving towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future and veganism has become one of the biggest tools in that direction. Vegan foods or non-dairy alternatives have created a lot of buzz, especially in the last few years. With many of the world’s big names turning to veganism, we see a significant number of famous Indians also make their bids. In fact, with a large number of Indians following a vegetarian diet, it is not the most difficult path to choose. In case you want to try.
As you delve deeper into the subject of veganism, you’ll realize that it doesn’t take much for Indians to become vegetarians. Replacing paneer with tofu and cow’s milk with nut/oat milk can be one of your baby’s first steps towards a vegan diet. And in case you’re in doubt about enjoying your favorite paneer curry, don’t worry; you can easily replace them with delicious tofu curry! Don’t believe us? We have a German blogger to prove us right. Maya Leinenbach is perhaps one of the youngest vegan German bloggers to have become famous during COVID. This 18-year-old has a cookbook to her name and teaches the vegan way of life with delicious recipes. And guess what her recent cooking experiment from the book was? None other than, Malai Kofta.
