So Bakra Eid is over, and I’m sure many of you are wishing you had listened to your relatives that tried to tell you: “Beta gosht pe hath hola rakho” (“Easy on the meat, child!) There has been A LOT of meat, hasn’t there? Countless BBQs and serving after serving of your aunt’s special beef/ mutton biryani. We totally understand how you feel right now. What better way to put the meat extravaganza behind you than to try out our selection of equally yummy vegetable recipes?

Aloo Channay Achari (Pickled Potato and Chickpea Curry) 

Aloo Channay Achari is the perfect brunch recipe and can also be enjoyed at lunch. Now that the fried kalaiji breakfasts are over, you should give this one a try. This dish tastes best with parathas or puris and a bowl of raita.

Qeema Bharay Karelay (Bitter Gourd Stuffed with Mince)

If you have leftover qeema from the qurbani (and I’m sure you do), you can turn some bitter gourds into stuffed gourd with a minced meat filling. This is the perfect marriage of vegetables and meat, and isn’t too heavy either.

Spinach and Cottage Cheese Quiche 

I believe spinach and cottage cheese are a match made in heaven. The two ingredients complement each other very well and are the stars of many vegetarian dishes such as Palak Paneer, Palak Kay Pakorhay and so on. This recipe is sure to be a hit with the kids as it’s not your traditional gravy. Give it a try.

    Ever since I was a kid, eating has been a hobby. Once I grew up, I started stepping into the kitchen more often. Although I love to cook everything but baking is something I am very passionate about. Its my therapy and it definitely takes me to my happy place. Ofcourse, this hobby of mine also caters to my hyper sweet tooth as well, which is an added bonus. Because baking is something that I have learnt from my mother so it has a very emotional value for me. Since times immemorial I have seen my mom experiment with baking in the kitchen, I like to believe she has passed that skill on to me as well (I know i can never surpass her awesomeness).
