The world is rapidly moving towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future and veganism has become one of the biggest tools in that direction. Vegan food or non-dairy alternatives have created quite a buzz, especially in the last couple of years. With many big names in the world turning vegan, we see a substantial number of prominent Indians doing their bid too. In fact, with a good number of Indians following the vegetarian diet already, it is not the most difficult path to choose In case you want to give it a try.

As you delve deeper into the subject of veganism, you will realise that there isn’t much we need to do as Indians to become vegan. Replacing paneer with tofu and cow milk with nut/oat milk can be some of the first baby steps towards veganism. And in case you were sceptical about giving on your favourite paneer curries, worry not; you can easily replace them with delicious tofu curries! Don’t believe us? Well, we have a German blogger to prove us right. Maya Leinenbach is probably one of the youngest German vegan bloggers to have risen to popularity in the COVID times. The 18-year-old already has a cookbook to her name and teaches how to vegan-ise your life with delicious recipes. And guess what her recent cooking experiment from the book was? None other than, Malai Kofta.
