The green dot on packed food and restaurants is equivalent to a vegetarian's stamp of approval. Only a true vegan understand its meaning and importance. For us, it's just a design to be ignored but for all the vegetarian's out there, it's a signal to enjoy a delicious meal guilt-free. Now, you might be a vegan by lineage or by choice but the problem remains the same. Your non-vegetarian friends! 

 

How many times have you been forced to try a non-veg delicacy you can't eat? And how many more times have the same friends compared chicken with paneer? Countless, right? I get it and that is why I have a solution. 

 

Here are 8 vegetarian dishes proxying the most popular non-veg delicacies- September, 2023

4. Vegetable Biryani 

More than food, biryani is an emotion you cannot replace! It's a fact that makes me feel bad about my vegetarian friends who're unable to experience the splash of flavours like no other.

There are chunks of crunchy veggies, tofu instead of chicken (optional) and lots of love. Include this veg biryani recipe in your Sunday lunch schedule and have a blast.
