Recipe Tips for Making A Vegetarian Dish

The nutritional values of the vegetarian menus, easy to cook recipes, great flavors and easy to digest are some of the reasons why more and more people are switching over to a vegetarian diet.

With the onset of summers the urge to have vegetarian food increases the more.

Vegetable Salads, Fruit Salads, Fresh vegetables are some of the common stuffs whose intake goes on rise during the hot burning sunny days. The other easy vegetarian recipes include the ones made with cheese like pizaa, garlic breads etc.

Freshness plays a key role in easy vegetarian recipes. So try and pick fresh vegetables, use fresh curds, cheese and milk while trying out something vegetarian.

These fresh ingredients enhance the flavor and aroma of your cuisines. One more important aspect is perfect use of spices.

Every vegetarian recipe has its own blend of spices to be poured in; a miss match might spoil the entire menu.

Some key points while making easy vegetarian recipes:
  • Wash the vegetable properly. The leafy vegetables like spinach and lettuce should be washed thoroughly as they have a lot of soil and other germs within them. Vegetables like cauliflower, green peas and brinjals have insects in them so watch out when you cut them. 
     
  • Cook the vegetables properly as raw or uncooked vegetables have with them many parasites. 
     
  • If you boil the vegetables before cooking, don't throw the stalk as it has all the nutritional values of the vegetables, so store it and this could be used in your recipe. 
     
  • Don't overcook your recipes as over cooking might take away all the goodness of your ingredients. 
     
  • Keep soaked the pulses like dal, rajma, bengal gram overnight. This will make them tender and would reduce your fuel consumption. 
     
  • Use pressure cooker or utensils with lid to reduce time and cost of your cooking 
     
  • While cooking something vegetarian stress upon seasonal vegetable. The seasonal vegetables are fresh and they are tender so get cooked easily. Moreover nutritional content in them is high along with their great tastes. 
     
  • While making items like Vegetable salads cut the vegetables just minutes before your meal and prepare it instantly. This will make the salad fresh in taste along with that will prevent the vegetables from getting dried up and enhance their nutritional values.
