Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.
I've been learning to cook all sorts of Indian recipes lately. The samosa are store bought, cuz who has time for that. Everything else is made from scratch. I'll probably get around to makeing my own samosas too, some day.
Will post recipes if anyone is interested. ^^
Nice that looks yum! Care to share the recipe for the Tofu Makhani please?
Btw if you do have some time/patience though, I'd recommed you try making some filo pastry samosas, they're super easy to make with filo instead of the traditional way. And if you've got an air fryer it takes only about 5 mins per batch to cook them, you don't even need much oil and they come out super crispy!
I follow this recipe but cut down the time even further by cooking my potatoes in the microwave (which takes only 4-5 minutes), then saute it for a couple of minutes with the spices and onions, and bam, filling is done.
Sure! This is the recipe I use, with a few minor changes: https://ministryofcurry.com/malai-kofta-instant-pot
Thanks for the samosa recipe! I'll have to check it out! Is filo typically vegan, or do I have to look especially for vegan filo?
Thanks, that's an easy recipe! I always keep a big bag of dried fenugreek leaves that I use in dals, curries and even noodles (to make them a bit healthier and add some fibre to my diet). :)
Filo is typically vegan, it's just flour + vegetable oil + water + salt. But wouldn't hurt to check the ingredients if you're buying for the first time, in case they're using egg or something (not that I've come across such a brand but who knows...)
Right? It's like ⅓ the effort of the aloo gobi, and so frickin good. I just added it to my repertoire recently, but its definitely earned a regular spot.
Good to know about the filo. I check pretty much everything anyways, but nice to know I don't have to specifically search for a vegan version. ^^
Looks amazing! I have made samosas using filo, but also flour tortillas. You cut them in half then fold each half around your filling, using water and crimping to seal then.
This looks so good wow!!!!
Indian food is the best if you're vegan - designed from the ground up to be meet free. Are those samosa vegan, though? Surely there's butter or ghee in the pastry.
They're from a local chain grocer. I've checked the ingredients before, so I'm 99.9% certain they are, but now you have me doubting myself.
