Punjabi cooking includes a wealth of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Around 75% of people in the northern Indian region are vegetarian, and Punjabi cuisine reflects this.
Punjabi cuisine is known for its richness, incorporating a range of ingredients with deep, buttery flavours. Some of the most well-known dishes you’ll find on Indian restaurant menus in the UK originate from Punjab including daal, biryani, and much more.
Here are some of our favourite Rasoi dishes for vegetarians and vegans in Swansea…
ONION BHAJI
An absolute classic, and a vegetarian staple on every Indian restaurant’s menu in the UK.
Thinly sliced onions covered in herbs and fried, it’s no surprise that the onion bhaji is Britain’s best loved starter.
BLACK DAAL
Daal is one of the most popular dishes originating from the Punjab region of India, so we had to include it on our menu here at Rasoi!
This dish is another vegetarian gem of dark, rich and deeply flavoured lentils. It’s also gluten-free!
VEG PANCHRATAN
This delicious gluten-free and vegan dish consists of mixed vegetables cooked with garlic, cumin, and fenugreek Tarka.
Simple, but delicious!
PUNJABI SAMOSA CHAAT
Samosa chaat is a popular form of Indian street food with a delightful explosion of flavours.
Our Punjabi samosa chaat consists of authentic Punjabi style samosa stuffed with masala potato and peas, served with chana masala, yoghurt and tamarind sauce.
PUNJABI SHAHI PANEER
An authentic North Indian delicacy, Paneer cottage cheese in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce with fenugreek, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
This dish is perfect for when you fancy something richer!
DELHI VEG BIRYANI
This delicate dish of aromatically spiced rice and veg, is one of the simplest yet most complicated to prepare. To intensify those exotic flavours, the cooking vessel needs to be sealed with a pastry lid, and that’s when the magic starts.
Simple, but created with care, Delhi Veg Biryani is one of the tastiest vegetarian dishes on our menu.
… AND SO MANY OF OUR DISHES INCLUDING OUR SIDES, BREAD AND RICE
All of our sides are completely vegetarian with a huge selection of them also vegan including Aubergine Masala, Bombay Potato, Masala Chips, Poppadum and so many more as well as a huge selection of our bread and rice.
