My Thoughts 

I’m a long time blog follower of Richa Hingle and my entire family has loved all the dishes we’ve made from her first cookbook, Vegan RIcha’s Indian Cookbook.

I wanted to really try a lot of the recipes to see how they worked for me (20+ year vegan), my husband (not vegan), and our teens (vegetarian) before reviewing. I love finding vegan cookbooks with appealing food and Richa’s food knocks “appealing” to a completely elevated level. 

We tried four of the recipes before I wrote this review - the chickpea flour tofu (turned out really well for me), chole (delicious), saag aloo (amazing), and masala potatoes (potatoes are one of my favorite things to eat and these are wonderful, but I omitted the black mustard seeds, and cashews). We’ll be ordering a physical copy of this cookbook because there are a lot of recipes that we want to try. 

This is another terrific cookbook from Richa and if you’ve been considering going meatless and vegan, I’d strongly suggest one of her cookbooks as the complexity of flavors in her food creates such wonderfully delicious meals, you wouldn’t miss the meat aspect at all (this according to my husband).
