Find out how vegan friendly Daal Roti has become!
Why did my first visit to Daal Roti, in Stanmore, make me so enthused?
Daal Roti's menu was vast when we popped in for the time in April 2017. The restaurant is pure vegetarian (no eggs), and the menu included many options that could be veganised, or were vegan by accident. Suraj and I chose a couple of items that we wanted, we had a backup plan in mind, in case they weren't/couldn't be made vegan, and we asked the waitress about them.
Ordering was easy. The waitress understood what vegan meant, and she had a good idea about what the dishes contained, so it didn't take long to place our order. It was just as well because I was hangry really needed to eat soon!
So what got me so enthused about Daal Roti?

"Vegan food is boring, and isn't satisfying!!!"
I've had a couple of people share their assumption that vegans have little choice, and therefore, the food must be boring, because of all the things we won't eat. Generally, they have been people who haven't been exposed to vegetarian food, and don't know about the abundance of choices vegetarians have. Veganism, in this day and age, isn't hard at all, and most vegetarian foods can be veganised without breaking a sweat. This doesn't mean cutting ingredients out and accepting what's left; it means using alternatives and having a full meal that leaves you feeling content at the minimum and spoilt at best.
So there is lots of choice, and food isn't boring. What about eating out?

The myth!
There has been a lot of focus on protein intake, which resulted in a lots of coverage saying that we needed to consume more. This hype about increasing how much protein we eat was aimed at everyone. Thus the ‘sporty’ folk were told that they needed to eat even more than everyone else. However, excessive protein can do a lot of damage, and people are now realising that the suggested intake was too high.
