What’s up vegan thread. Does anyone have a good vegan saag paneer recipe? I’ve been making kenji’s but I think it’s sort of bland. Content: I do like kenji’s chana masala recipe tho. Here is a double batch before cooking down and freezing individual meals. This weekend I will be making a 4x batch and freezing a months worth of lunches.

My big kenji recipe Chana Masala 4x batch. It turned out pretty good, but ended up a little more watery than usual. I’m not sure if it’s because I tried a new brand of canned tomatoes or I need add less water when cooking at this scale, will tweak it next time. Excuse my ugly wall that my landlord really did a “landlord special” on! edit: ok I just realized I halved the chickpeas due to a mental math error...that’s the last time I do recipe multiplication in my head on the fly. Oh well

Has anyone noticed soy milk shortages in the US? I normally order a few crates of Pacific Foods Ultra Soy at a time because it makes good lattes. The price has been going up and fluctuating a lot lately and it's been harder to have shipped quickly or to find in stock at all.

Someone gave me Isa Chandra's cookbook "I Can Cook Vegan" as a gift so I made the baingan bharta recipe and I really didn't like it! She puts curry powder and agave in it?  It tasted really off. I even asked one of my friends who grew up in India whether she's ever had this with curry or agave and she said no. I vaguely remember Isa sneaking sweetener and curry into random dishes on Post Punk Kitchen.Next I made this baingan bharta https://www.cookwithmanali.com/baingan-bharta/. Very simple (no curry powder or agave). Roasting eggplants over the open flame actually went quicker than roasting in the oven and the flavor was 1000% better. It was incredible. Better tasting than any I've ever had. It also freezes well. I'm going to be making loads of this if I get brave enough to fire roast the eggplants on multiple burners at once.

TychoCelchuuu posted:Indian cooking does not use curry powder for Indian food. If a recipe uses it, I would distrust the source of that recipe. There are plenty of recipes in the Indian thread if you're interested in more. TychoCelchuuu posted:"Curry powder" unqualified usually means somethings like this. (So, not, not garam masala.) But it means various things in various contexts and it is a very vague term. I'm not sure I've even seen it for sale in India, and anyways it's used in effectively zero recipes. Nearby Sri Lanka does use various curry powders pretty often, from what I can tell, although their mixes are somewhat different than the typical mix in generic "curry powder" that you'd get at a typical store in most countries. The two main types of Sri Lankan curry powder are "roasted" and "unroasted/raw" and as you can imagine that is based on whether the spices are roasted pre-grind. Very informative. Thank you. I will check out that other thread!

My gf is trying a low tyramine diet for migraines (the Dr. Buchholz one). I guess it's a long shot but does anyone know any good vegan low tyramine recipes? I'm really struggling to not just prepare plain pan fried tofu and zuchinni every night.

TychoCelchuuu posted:I don't know what the gently caress tyramine is but if you tell us what foods she can and can't eat I can probably bust out like 600 recipes or whatever. Lady Disdain posted:Yeah, ^this. Ok sorry, i will list the foods to avoid. It's a pretty popular book so I thought that someone else may have had some experience with it. I think that link pretty much covers it. I never read this book in enough detail to see that no tofu was allowed ... my gf has not given up tofu per my previous post, I guess she identified it as not being a migraine trigger. Specifically we are trying to develop some recipes that freeze well. No consuming: - caffiene - chocolate - MSG - bouillon - nuts (seeds ok) - bread crumbs - vinegar (or vinegar containing condiments like mustard and ketchup) - alcohol - citrus and citrus juice - raisins - figs - dates - avocado - sauerkraut - miso - onions - lentils - soy sauce - tomatoes - soy products (tofu ok) Some allowed foods

AngryRobotsInc posted:I'm confused. Bread crumbs aren't allowed, but bread over 24 hours old is? Bread crumbs are literally just dry toasted bread smashed up real fine. yes foods that are naturally high in MSG are to be avoided. the worst vegan offenders are things like dried mushrooms, dried tomatoes, soy sauce, miso, vegemite, seaweed, my gf has decided that these should be avoided at all costs. a ton of foods have lower levels of MSG like tofu, non-dried mushrooms, my gf has decided these are okay in moderation. the diet is moreso about managing your intake level of certain substances (so much so that they don't take you over the edge and trigger a migraine) rather than completely abstaining from them Lady Disdain posted:Yeah, there are some things on kreeningsons no-go list that are allowed items on the other list (like tomatoes and mustard). So I'm guessing that those are their girlfriend's specific triggers. yes, store bought breadcrumbs are to be avoided if they are seasoned. apparently "natural flavorings" usually contains high tyramine and it's pretty ubiquitous in readymade items like seasoned breadcrumbs. we buy unseasoned panko breadcrumbs and these seem to be fine. tomatoes are indeed a specific trigger that the book doesn't really mention (kale too). TychoCelchuuu posted:I typed out this post and then noticed citrus isn't allowed but it's too much work for me to go back and check every single recipe for citrus so, sorry if some don't work. this is great. the whole diet is confusing for me and has a lot of exceptions and is daunting to navigate. a good chunk of these recipes should work! will be trying asap.

Anyone have favorite vegan thanksgiving dessert recipes? I'm going to try to make this one tomorrow. I'm not sure about the flavor profile, but it's pretty simple. https://yupitsvegan.com/chocolate-chip-eggnog-bread-pudding/ (for some reason the url says chocolate chip eggnog pudding, but the recipe is just maple/brown sugar bread pudding) I really want to make traditional plum pudding for Christmas, but I don't know where to start with a vegan substitute for suet...

Colonel J posted:I got a chest freezer and started stocking it by doing x3 on every recipe I do and freezing the extra portions. I'm having a lot of fun doing this and am on the lookout for ideas of stuff that works well with this. I thought of spaghetti sauce today, it's so obvious. this is late but i make a bunch of kenji recipes: 4x channa masala with rice, and 2x minestrone, 2x vegan burgers batches. makes a massive amount of food. i usually have to split the minestrone between two huge pots. it's fun cooking with dueling soup pots. for this and the channa masala it can help to add a little more water or tomatoes than recommended so things don't get too dry during the freeze/thaw. you can also just add some more stock or water to the soup when reheating. also, parboiling the rice and pasta helps prevent overcooking it since it can get finished off during reheating. there is something of a learning curve to guessing how to adjust the recipes for freezing. for the burgers, i use a patty press to make patties and then freeze them in individual plastic bags, take one or two burgers out at the time and throw them frozen into a frying pan, cook with oil and the lid on flipping until they are done through. kenji might cringe at this but honestly they taste fine to me. one double batch makes like 30-40 patties.

happy thanksgiving, vegan thread. i made kenji's holiday roast as the centerpiece to an all vegan thanksgiving dinner. i wasted a bunch of phyllo because it kept splitting open while rolling, so i ended up with a relatively thin outer crust, which sort of fell off the roast when cutting, so it didn't plate well, but still tasted great. i ended up using plastic wrap/parchment paper as sort of a sushi rolling mat. there are a lot of haters in the comments, but honestly, i don't care that this recipe took me three days to make -- i've suffered through my last tofurky and will be making this roast again.

pandy fackler posted:What would you do differently to keep it from splitting at the beginning?Did it seem like the parchment paper would have been enough? I've had that roast bookmarked for forever and was planning to take a crack at it this Christmas. i'm not sure if dry phyllo was my main problem, or the fact that this roast is pretty big and phyllo is just inherently fragile. this recipe contains an ambitious use of phyllo, to say the least. things i would have done differently: - kept a moist paper towel on top of the unused phyllo, instead of just some plastic wrap, to keep it from drying out. - used the plastic wrap as a rolling mat from the get go. two sheets of plastic wrap seemed plenty strong. the parchment paper made me nervous, but it worked as long as it was evenly supported. i had to use the parchment paper as the rolling mat on the final step, because the roast is baked on paper. i guess you could also put some plastic wrap under the parchment and then slip it out just before baking. - use a silicone pastry brush for the olive oil, instead of one with natural bristles, which was brand new OXO one but kept leaving hairs on the dough, causing me to resort to blotting the oil on with a paper towel - worked more quickly so the phyllo sheet i was currently using didn't dry out. that wasn't really possible because i was learning this as i went, but it should go quicker the next time

Lady Disdain posted:I've never made that recipe, but I do use filo quite a lot, and find that it always boils down to not allowing the filo to dry out. the guides i've seen online say defrost it in the fridge for 24 hours minimum  you go from freezer to using it in 2 hours, just defrosting at ambient temperature? i'll have to try that next time.

Help, I need to bake a vegan cake or cheesecake recipe for 7 people people and I’m slightly freaking out. I usually don’t order vegan baked goods because, with a few notable exceptions, they perpetually disappointed me. What is the best recipe anyone knows of? It also has to be nut, citrus, chocolate, coffee, and vinegar free. Some acceptable flavors are hibiscus, pomegranate, cardamom, something I can decorate with candied violets, but I’ll take whatever I can get.

Phigs posted:A question for the thread though, does anyone have good substitutes for meats and cheeses in sandwiches? The best fake vegan meat I’ve cooked myself is kenji’s smoked mushrooms (you can get the applewood in the grilling section at the grocery store). Seitan is very easy to make too, but it doesn’t treat me well, so I stay away from it. The best vegan sandwich I’ve ever had was a jackfruit bbq sandwich from a food truck in Brooklyn. I haven’t attempted to recreate it but I do know that a lot of grocery stores carry readymade jackfruit bbq which I have no personal experience with. As far as cheese, I’ve tried them all, I’ve made my own, and there is no substitute. For sandwiches I go heavy on the sauce, aioli, hummus, etc. and I don’t miss the cheese.

Lady Demelza posted:Please help me, or at least help my guests. I'm providing a vegan, onion-free, nut-free cold buffet. One of them has also been dropping hints that they're tired of falafel being the go-to vegan option. Shallots work as a substitute for onions in most contexts, if that’s an option. I bring this to every potluck with 50/50 sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds substituted for pine nuts. The chickpeas can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. It’s always a huge hit among everyone. https://www.seriouseats.com/roasted-chickpea-kale-salad-sun-dried-tomato-vinaigrette-herb

In the case of a low tyramine diet, which is rare but not unheard of, shallots can be substituted for onions. Idk the reason that the OP has though.

Anyone have thanksgiving cooking plans? I will once again be preparing Kenji’s needlessly complicated holiday roast https://www.seriouseats.com/vegetables-wellington-the-ultimate-plant-based-vegan-holiday-roast-recipe For dessert, maybe olive oil cake or pumpkin empanadas, but I’m not sure yet.

Kenji’s vegetables wellington came out nicely as a vegan centerpiece again this year again. The process is overly complicated and downright stupid at times and took 5 hours of prep time the day before, but I can’t argue with the end product. This time I made two half sized roasts, each one using a full package of phyllo dough, and they came out much closer to the size of the roast in the recipe pictures. Also they were MUCH easier to assemble and serve at half size. I froze the second one and will be seeing how it reheats at Christmas. The recipe is apparently based off carrots wellington at an east village restaurant. So maybe next year I will save myself the trouble and try to recreate the original one.

Colonel J posted:My SO and I are in the process of doing a slightly relaxed version of it for Christmas. We won't smoke the King Oyster mushrooms, we'll just do them in the oven with a bit of liquid smoke. hell yeah. Smoking the king oysters is the process I look forward to the most. it’s very satisfying in other news, my frozen roast reheated pretty well after being frozen for 2.5 months. veggies got that reheated frozen vegetable quality and the flavors weren’t as punchy. 85-95% as good as a fresh one. worth it

Anyone have a preferred non dairy milk? This isn’t as much for cooking but more for eating it with oatmeal/granola. Bonus points if it works in pancake batter. I don’t like any of the soy/nut milks with added gums/stabalizers, so I have been buying Elmhurst, but it is expensive and their options are limited.

Eeyo posted:IME commercial soy milk or almond milk doesn’t work as well for pancakes compared to cow milk, not sure what it is. They have different physical properties (different protein content, sugar content, and any texture modifiers in the plant milk). So just a drop in replacement may not work, you may want to look for a vegan recipe to start with. Yes this is correct more often than not when dealing with vegan baking. Drop in vegan replacements often lead to disappointment. My go to pancake recipe is from the book Vegan With A Vengeance, so it’s already been perfected. After some research, Trader Joe’s offers a two-ingredient soy milk, just soybeans and water. I wish it was fortified, but at least it doesn’t have added gums and thickeners. So I will be trying this.

Special Valentine’s Day content. Cauliflower and jasmine rice soup with persillade, arugula/potato/leek tart, vanilla bean coconut panna cotta. My crust was fail but that’s cause I used a bigger tart pan without similarly scaling up my ingredients. Wish I’d made a salad to go with this too. It was all really good!

Ulillinguist posted:Very impressive! 👏 I feel confident with vegan meals, but not desserts. I sort of hate baking vegan desserts because I suck at baking but this was actually really simple since no baking. It’s from the Vedge cookbook of the eponymous Philly restaurant, which is great except: the cookings times are hilariously inadequate for a home chef, some of the steps in other recipes took me 2-3 times longer than described. Some reviewers pointed out other errors too. Anyway here’s a secret link to the panna cotta recipe. The only thing that didn’t go well for me was my vanilla beans being too old and brittle to split open, so I just grated the whole bean. I left out the tarragon too because my partner doesn’t like it.
