Comments Off on Ten (Plus) New Dishes at SilverLake Vegan.com

(Gerry Furth-Sides) SilverLake Vegan.com has a brand new line-up of mouth-watering, universally appealing vegan dishes. This virtual restaurant is fast becoming one of the most popular plant-based options in Los Angeles. And it is a natural both because Indian cuisine lends itself so well to meatless dishes and its long-respected kitchen.

(1) Onion bhajis can be compared to a fritter. They usually start the meal in Anglo-Indian restaurants. The snack food, like poppadoms, is satisfying without being too filling before the main courses, all the more so because they are mildly seasoned. Add salad or a slice of citrus or even a dipping chutney to make it a meal at lunch or an extra festive dinner starter.

(2) Vegetable samosas have a double-whammy addictive nature, both spicy and sweet. And the savory and sweet packets come in a triangular jacket that is as flaky as puff pastry.

(3) Naan is almost as addictive an Indian staple dish. It tastes all the better than bread because it is fresh out of the tandoori oven at 800-degrees for a crispy exterior and an even chewier interior. Lucky diners also get a bit of a char on their piece! It can be eaten alone or used as a wrap.

(4) Vegan Cheese Naan make an gooey, ooey extra-special treat that is already perfect on its own.

(5) Vegan Green Coconut Curry. The word Curry, from the Indian Tamil “Kari” means sauce or soup. Every region, maybe every family, has their own individual versions – much like theTunisian Harissa “secret” family recipes. It is served with rice, which blends the two textures and levels of heat. Two constants of the spice mixture: it isalways combined from scratch; the ingredients always include coriander, turmeric, cumin, and red chilies. Curry is not to be confused with the 18th century British invention of “curry powder.
