OCTOBER is Vegetarian Awareness Month and veggies as well as those who fancy giving it a shot will be in their element as restaurants and bars around Glasgow offer some of the best quality dishes.
Amongst them is The Dhabba North Indian restaurant in Merchant City who have decided to share the recipe for one of their classic vegetarian dishes with theshowbizlion.com.
The restaurant, which recently launched a new menu and even makes its own bread and cheese on the premises, is passionate about the quality of ingredients it uses.
Owner Navdeep Basi said: "Nowhere in the world is vegetarianism so strongly associated with, than India. It has its origins in the sixth century with the introduction of
Buddhism. For a lot of Indians today, vegetarianism is the way things should
be, according to the natural law of the universe. Mahatma Gandhi, perhaps
India's most famous advocate of vegetarianism, proposed vegetarianism as a
path to the observance of non-violence. To him it was not only a means of
rejecting chaos and confusion but also a healthy positive outlook that led
to good for all man and womankind."
Navdeep and his team made a video of the detailed process that goes into making Sheetal Kachori, a delicious appetiser of bean sprouts, pomegranate, and crispy bread, drizzled with cool yogurt.
Navdeep said: "Here at The Dhabba we are proud of our Indian heritage. Our chefs are
classically trained and respect the cultural roots of Indian cuisine. Our
menu has a great selection of healthy, wholesome vegetarian food. Using only
the freshest and finest ingredients our chefs create and present unique
delicacies to our patrons. On the occasion of Vegetarian Awareness Month celebrate by trying some of our vegetarian fare here at The Dhabba - we think you will like it."
