Top 5 Veggie Foods > Need your help!.

[jpsingh2]

I recently started to quit eating meat and alcohol and I was looking to start buying some veggie food.

I prefer english foods as I don't really know how to cook punjabi foods yet but If you know a good punjabi recipe feel free to throw it in the list. I am looking primary for meals and not light snacks. I am a skinny guy so don't worry if the foods get you fat.

What are your favourite veggie foods that you buy from the grocery store/market in Canada?

Wholewheat pasta is good. Making noodles from the stuff our mothers use for 'sehmiyaa' is also rather nice. Of course the tadka has to be light and not consisting of 5 blocks of butter, lol.

I do these in UK, but I believe you should get them easily in Canada as well -

Veg. Hakka Noodles + Frozen Mixed Veg + Manchurian (if you can make)

Any dish of Cheese.

Mix veg from Carrot/Cabbage/Paneer/Beans/Peas etc.

Gobhi Manchurian (if you can try)

Idli/Dosa/UpmaVada (GILTZ packing's are quite good).

Daal-Vada+Mooli (something like Laddoo Garam).

Boiled Chick peas to make Kadhahi Choolle (Onion+Tomatoes poured on top) + Mini Naans to give effect of Kulche.

Dhokla from GILTZ is quite good.

Cool, I will try the above.

Also what are your views on eggs, which things have eggs in them, also I heard gelatin has meat in it does anybody have a list of common things a Sikh should avoid?

and also if my dad hasn't shakud amrit is it alright to eat his food?

Sandwiches with veggie burgers just buy bread and vegetables

Pasta=boil pasta, seperate saute onions, add broccli, carrots, and sauce then pasta

Burritos-get vegetarian beans, and spanish rice from store. add cut onions,lettuce, tomatoes, jalapanos,

Nachos-buy nacho chips, and cheese sauce and add same stuff as burritos

(actually forget about the two listed above, my cousins from canada had no idea what nachos/burritos were)

look up recipes for banana bread, (for pancakes and cake replace egg with yogurt )

And easiest to make is RICE. You can make Indian style, chinese,

and can add any vegetables to it to make complete meal (look up palao)

Tofu tofu and more tofu. Soya milk. Both full of protein and 0% fat. Amazing stuff. Also humus.

Cut tofu up into bite size pieces and through it into pasta sauce with pasta yum!

Ultra healthy

Gelatin is most certainly derived from verious animal by-products. It is not vegetarian friendly.

You've reminded me, I need to get back into tofu again. It tastes of absolutely nothing but I needs me protein!

Try a bigger shaped roti (wrap style) with saabje of your choice (few spoons only) in the middle with sources of your choice on the top followed with any salad on top. Then wrap the roti up like a wrap. It's so yummy

[SunSingh]

tofu should be either fermented or boiled to destroy its naturally occurring toxins. if you want to learn how to eat than dr. fuhrmans 'eat to live' is an excellent book for a proper eating plan.
