love ♥ living ♥ vegan
Following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, is about food, drink, clothes, shoes, body treatments, hair products and more.
It's a conscious decision to think, walk and possibly, talk a better lifestyle.
I support individuals who are thinking about making the shift, as well as, those who have already begun their plant-based journey.
There are only a few 'Indian sweets' which I like and this is one of them. It's called Magaj in Gujarat and is known as Besan Ladoo in Maharashtra. The only difference between the two is that Magaj is usually cut in to squares and Besan Ladoo is moulded in a spheres.

This Shaak (curried beans) is simple, filling and quick to make. It involves minimal preparation and tastes delicious.
I've never really mixed curried beans with hummus before but it actually turned out to be really tasty! The grated carrots, cucumber and cherry tomatoes complimented it really well.

This is my second attempt at making a chocolate chip cupcake. I was disheartened after my first try because although they looked amazing they tasted really doughy and they weren't very moist. I used a different recipe this time and was super chuffed! These cupcakes were delicious, moist, sweet but not too sweet, they didn't take long to make, and all the ingredients were easy to find.

Read MoreWith all the recent tweets about gram flour and pancakes, I developed a craving for Pudla. They are savoury, light, amazing with 'Indian' tea and quick to make. They're also versatile. You can make them thick or thin and you can put anything you want in them.

I have often heard vegetarians say that they would miss paneer if they shifted to a vegan diet. Before I went vegan I enjoyed dishes like chilli paneer, but it was more about the flavour, rather than, the paneer itself.
Recently, a few of us went away for the weekend. We hired a self-catering venue so that we could enjoy cooking and eating together. One of the dishes we made was similar to this. I thought it was yummy, but what really stuck in my mind; was one of our friends who didn't believe that it was vegan. She insisted that someone must have brought it with them or that we had made it with paneer! She had to hear it four times from two different people before she accepted it. She thought it was delicious!
With that in mind, I made it again to get the recipe right for 2 people, rather than, the 16 we made it for when we went away.

I wanted some comfort food which was full of greens, so I looked up a few recipes and then merged them to create this recipe. The creation was vegan kale, spinach and rocket cannelloni.
This recipe came about because I wanted something hot and although I wanted salad, I didn't want it as a side. I came up with chickpeas on a bed of salad and it was yummy! .
