Coming up with lots of delicious new ideas for dinner can hard, but Anjum Anand and The Spice Tailor has got that covered with a heap of delicious, vegetarian recipes perfect for helping you cut the meat out of your diet, but not the flavour. Here, she shares one of her favourites.
“This dish is a wonderful plant-based dish that is flavourful, but also full of textures and pops of different tastes. It is savoury, nutty, earthy and crispy and once you have added the The Spice Tailor Tomato, Chilli, Garlic Chutni (or your favourite hot sauce) and some soured cream, it really is the perfect vegetarian bite!” says Anjum.
