Do write in what you would like to see on this page and I will try to work it in provided it falls within vegan horizons or is of interest to vegans.Delhi Vegan Clubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12621098137360744191noreply@blogger.comBlogger251100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124727381302547746.post-21940376433835546942011-12-28T08:10:00.000-08:002011-12-28T08:10:46.936-08:00

Delhi’s winters are quite famous for being freezing to the bone. Apart from clothing people adopt various methods to stay warm in these biting winters. Though non vegan methods are the more popular ones, there are many vegan methods to keep warm too. Read on to know more.... Let’s first take a look at Indian food... Ajwain (carom seeds) – can be used in herbal tea, rotis, parathas, veggies,

With the monsoon almost over, I am yet to get rid of its leftovers…a bad cold with sinusitis attack which has just graduated to a cough...I was seriously wondering how long it would last and sooo missed my non-vegan days when I’d just take a “haldi doodh” (turmeric milk) and it would be gone…so much so that I even contemplated giving in to the temptation of taking it as I argued with myself that

The last time I wrote on rejuvelac it was about how to make rejuvelac to start curd. This time let me tell you what some plus points about taking rejuvelac as a drink are. It’s a home-made probiotic drink which increases the friendly bacteria called lactobacillus in the intestinal tract. These are generally found in the colon and are vital to maintain the pH balance of the colon and a healthy

Hi all! I remember when I started this blog there was this purpose of searching out and bringing together vegans in my city, Delhi. Our third potluck which we had on June 5th the World Environment Day was our best potluck as it had a 20 to 25 people strong gathering - the swell in numbers mostly due to the single handed efforts of our host Gaurav Jain.

I've been asked to post the recipe of rejeuvelac so here it is..! Take 1/4 cup of wheat berries (normal wheat grain), and wash it well. Soak in 1 cup of drinking water. Use a glass container to soak and allow it to breathe (container should not be airtight.) Allow to stay for 2 days in summers and 3 to 4 days in winters. The water begins to look like lemonade when mixed and there's the light

Yes I did it...I’ve made one of my favourites...curds...vegan...yes, that’s right, I’ve made good vegan curds with rejeuvelac as the starter! I’ve always heard that using rejeuvelac as the first time starter gives thin curds, but that’s not true! I got good thick curds from rejeuvelac right at the first time. How? I’ve been trying for almost a year now to perfect a formula and I finally did it!

Who says dairy is the only source of calcium..? Oh ok, most people think so which is why when you tell someone you’ve turned vegan...they are aghast...”how will you get your calcium” and up goes their pitch....!! So here it is...the best sources of calcium in the world are vegan...they are any day much better than dairy....Where can you find it? Oh I can shoot off... plant-based sources of

I must share this most amazingly liberating experience I’ve had in years! Yesterday I consciously (on hubby dear’s insistence, I must admit) left behind my mobile phone at home and went out for 8 hours...! Try it. You’re going to love it too...We went to Swami Narain Akshardham temple...a not-to-miss experience for anyone visiting Delhi. A word of caution though...no electronics(which is why we

I am happy to write about Delhi's first Vegan Potluck in Dwarka. New dishes, new ideas, new tastes, umm...yummy!! We all had a wonderful time and also shared recipe secrets! More such potlucks are in store for Delhi! An eleven people strong group for a start is very good and hopefully we'll have many more additions in future.

From Metro Sector 9 station. Come out of Gate no.2. It will be on your right as you punch out. You come out to a rickshaw stand from where you are to turn left. When you turn left you'll see a Maruti Suzuki Magic Auto showroom. Just as you cross it there's a V fork on your right. The right fork goes backwards to the station again. Take the left fork which leads away from the station by turning

Hi. Today I want to write about a situation that many women face. When you have turned vegan and have relatives or even friends who neither understand nor are vegan – worse, they are non-vegetarians. How does one handle it especially if you are expected to present non-vegetarian food - considered as a mark of respect! All the hard work that the woman has put in to present the vegetarian food goes

As new Vegans there are many changes we observe in our body. During the initial months one of the changes may be a feeling of trembling weakness if the diet is not balanced. In such a situation the first thought that automatically comes to mind is that this new diet is faulty. That all the hoopla about veganism is a lie! Going along these lines we may end up reverting to our original diets

How to turn Vegan u ask?Many people try the vegan diet on a short term basis to start with - perhaps you could start on a one-month trial basis. Decide to stay off dairy products completely for one whole month during which there should be no exceptions of "just this once" kind... If you could also get organic produce, nothing like it...but if not then nothing to worry about...still go ahead with

Hi! Its been a long time since I posted...Attention occasionally gets diverted to more pressing issues and this tends to take a back seat...sorry for the long absence..! But now that I am here I'd like to make up...Veganism does not automatically mean healthy food. It only means that the food we choose to eat does not have any animal product, not that the food we have chosen to eat is super

Veganism as such is difficult for people to accept because it shuns the usage of dairy products and is quite preposterous a thought to most Indians as we learn to ask for milk before we learn to speak our names! In such a situation resistance to veganism is understandable. But given the large scale benefits of veganism, an unlearning of dairy habits is very much required for a healthful future
