Day #7


So, my vegan experience is completing a week.
This is what I had for the day.


To begin with I had a Banana-Palak-Oats smoothie.


For breakfast I had a chapati with methi (fenugreek) subji and red chutney.



One of the dish that I like at Five Spice Chinese Restaurant in Mumbai, is Fortune Rice. I thought I could easily make a vegan version at home.

Without refereing to any resources, and relying on own instinct, you notice that it uses some traditional spices blended in such a way that normally a person won't notice spices (except a star anice).

Here I used whatever that was available at home.

Vegetables: Cauli flower, sprouted beans,french beans,carrot,onion,green chillies,ginger,garlic,one Maggi Taste maker, corn flour.

Spices: star anice,tej patta, dalchini,blacj pepper, cloves.

Since we are not adding any oil we need to start with adding masala to bit of boiling water..shallow steam frying.

Result was okay..as the strong odour n flavour is generally absorbed by oil, which we are not using here, you get a raw masala flavour,which can be corrected with practice.

So, overall I am rating my receipe here 3/5 by a standard (with normal version using oil); and 3.5 to 4 out of 5 considering it's a vegan version.





Dinner: organic red rice (not shown)with chinese sweet and sour vegetables.Here, sweetness was obtained by adding a tomato ketchup.
