India has a lot of good options considering it's history of vegetarianism.
@@freakboostez6971 even chinese don't eat dogs its RARE., that guy is just straight up being racist they know asians don't eat dogs.
@@freakboostez6971 ofc! im talking about @ a nice fun guy, he's just being racist. 'you eat dog' is mostly used as a racist joke made upon asians, asians including us south asians.
@@freakboostez6971 i tagged you and said 'that guy' cause i was informing you he's racist
Didnt need informing it was obvious, idiot
@@j_m12341 sadly racism against asians is too normalized. i wanted to inform because just saying chinese people do eat dogs ain't gonna help anything. because who actually does eat dogs? no one.
As an indian I eat vegan food everyday without even trying
Okay guys, pls stop replying to this, it's been 4 months .
Same here and I'm Ethiopian
@@redietfekadu6759 oh that's interesting, I didn't know Ethiopia was primarily vegetarian. What does your diet consist of?
@@nitya4698 lots of legumes,vegetables, grains...our traditional "pancake like flatbread" is made of teff which is a tiny grain that's fermented and baked to accompany our stews
@@nitya4698 I'd say that there's a lot of similarity with the Indian cuisine with the recipes and spice levels
@@nitya4698 there is a difference between vegan and vegetarian
The ease of getting vegan options is the reason I love Indian food.
indian food are spicy :((
@@theoneandonlynathan south Asian food isn’t just spicy, in my country there is spicy, tangy, sweet etc dishes
@@theoneandonlynathan nah, I'm south indian amd dont eat that much spicy food, u can adjust the spiciness kf ur cooking by urself.
@@theoneandonlynathan i am from south india.. telangana state . I like spicy food but at my house.. my mom n dad don't eat spicy food.. so everything is not at all spicy unless we eat any outside food in some restaurants😁
@@theoneandonlynathan Not unless you want it spicy.
Would love to see more world vegan foods - like chinese vegan food, ethiopian vegan food, Caribbean vegan food, thai vegan food etc
Yea
I would love to see this as well
Ooh I’m Ethiopian they can contact me lol
Try caribbeanpot channel. I love his Caribbean food
in Rachel Ama’s channel you can find great caribbean vegan food
Me as a broke vegan Indian:
Breakfast: Poha, veggie chowmein, paratha with pickle, besan chilla, etc.
Lunch: Veg thali, rajma chawal, soybean curry with roti, etc.
Snacks: Phuchka, samosa, corn chaat, etc.
Dinner: Khichdi, roti sabji, daal chawal, etc.
You don't always need cashews or tofu to be vegan.
Indian cuisine has a lot of vegan options available.
True, but Tofu is a great replacement for Paneer, and Indians love Cashews, in fact a lot of Korma uses cashew paste
We usually use coconut milk to thicken. Cashew isn't used in daily dishes like matar paneer. Coconut milk is a cheaper alternative than cashew milk.
And tofu is something I've written as "expensive" because many Indian prefer to make paneer at home rather than buying a block of paneer. But preparing firm tofu at home isn't easy. It is possible but isn't easy. So people end up purchasing and hence isn't available readily to the local mass of India.
Louder for the people at the back.

Being vegan in India is quite easy, especially because I was born in an already vegetarian family so I’ve never had meat and don’t crave it even after turning vegan.
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc why are you spamming everywhere
@@kristipatowary2116 right!
@@kristipatowary2116 degenerates that's why 😂
You can’t really crave something you’ve never had
@@maxfr142 hahahahahahahhahaa
Being vegan in India is literally so easy, majority of our dishes were vegan anyways 😁😂
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc dairy industry of india reached a value of INR 11,357 billion and if it starts selling vegan milk think how many farmers will go jobless! Also even I don't like it when people eat beef. In hindu scriptures that she is referred to as gau mata and you are eating the meat of the same animal.. I hate it
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc Amul turning vegan would actually affect our economy you do realize that right?
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc oh I have nothing against soy milk tbh since I am lactose intolerant and milk causes acid reflux. But to bring such a huge change would require massive funds not to mention people have sentiment connected to cow milk and so. Soy milk can get cheaper if only it becomes commonly produced. But as I said things aren't that cut and dry.
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc what a clown.
Do u realise how many depend upon dairy🤦🏽
It's not bjp. Legit amul said that....it's not that hard to understand.
And do u realise cows can literally not survive without human input?
The "cows are tortured to death for milk" have u ever been to a diary? Last time I saw our 2 cows became such brats bcoz they recieved so much care and attention.
And all that bs gallons of water...this n that.
1) we use litre n kgs 😂
2) by going vegan how would YOU save water. Cows n bufflow will drink water anyways. Nobody drinks water for timepass.
@@kamallb4650 wow man u skyrocketed the limits of foolishness
Observation: The Indian and Korean meals were more natural and less processed than the American ones. Also, the American meals had more substitions which kinda represents in a way the quality and length of life. Indians and Koreans are known for living long, healthy lives whereas Americans are known more for obesity. Just an observation
EDIT: It's my opinion. I did not come with facts and evidence, as I said, it was an observation made from my point of view and experience.
I've always wondered why America has so much processed food and not as much fresh natural stuff. I didnt even know there were things like onion and garlic powder till I saw videos of American dishes being cooked 😅
I observed the same thing. In american dishes she was using more substituted food and they are not always available or economical in most places
@@vinithakumar7957 I think it's our relentless version of capitalism and overall focus on wealth accrual by the few at the expense of most individuals and communities. "Convenience" is a big deal here. And a lot of us have really lost our connection to where food comes from. If the person cooking American food had gone back farther into our history, she could have veganized some wonderful from-scratch meals like our great-grandparents used to make.
Packaged foods last a lot longer on the shelf, so if your enormous corporate conglomerate is trying to profit off a plant anyone could easily just grow, you have to find a way to make it more convenient so you can sell it at a higher price. It also needs to last a long time and travel well to get all the way across the country. Once you dry and pulverize your garlic or onions or herbs, etc, you then call sell it to the consumer at a huge markup. Any extra can be used by your subsidiary companies in processed snacks, meals, etc. Those subsidiaries will cut as many corners as they can in order to drive up their profits, so quality is lost and we collectively forgot what good food is supposed to taste like. These days there are a lot of people trying to reverse this trend for themselves and their communities, but corporations are still driven by the bottom line. In fact, did you know that American shareholders can sue a company if they feel the company failed to maximize profits? It's a disaster.
And why do we buy this stuff? We just have a very individualistic consumerist culture. I don't know, other than that. Really effective advertising? We're just suckers? Some areas have super short growing seasons, making fresh food more expensive than packaged. Almost all adults here work outside the home (2-3 jobs in many cases) and we cook less than any previous generations.
Oh, one more note about all the substitutions: The roots of colonial American food culture were very heavy on meat and dairy, so most of our traditional meals will need some kind of subs. They don't have to be made in a lab like Impossible meat, but it's hard for me to think of American dishes without meat or dairy. Of course, the food cultures of the Native American tribes who predated Europeans on the continent had no dairy that I'm aware of and overall were much more focused on plants for food.
@@O2life that's really sad. They make it seem like America is a desert and you can't grow fresh stuff there... I read in another UA-cam video's comment about CSA farms in USA where local farmers near you can send freshly grown stuff to you. Try that if you live in USA. (Please do your research. I'm not 100% sure, as I said I read a comment in another video but hope it helps)
Just letting everyone know, not all packaged kimchi is vegan. Traditional and some packaged kimchi contains jeotgal (salted seafood), and fish sauce.
If you plan to make your own kimchi, you can skip the jeotgal, and add extra soy sauce instead of fish sauce
Very true. Not all gochujangs are vegan as well. Some may contain beef products. Please read ingredient lists
@@Stringbean0000 May I ask how it contains beef products?
Most gochujang pastes that I’ve come across has only contained glutinous rice, red pepper flakes, and salt, and occasionally, fermented soybeans
@@parismoon2130 my friend’s mom found gochujang with beef broth in it
@@Stringbean0000 Oh interesting
Thank you! Great to know.
I'm so happy with all the love Indian meals are getting. I feel the Indian chef here even put some westernization in the recipe by calling it a frittata instead of cheela and putting it in the oven. In most indian households we just make it on the pan by roasting it on both sides.
I think she lives in America.
She probably calls it a cheela too, its just this video is for Americans so she probably tried to make it something that they could relate to, and understand what the texture is. I also found it strange as an Indian :)
Exactly I was like isn't that cheela😂
After living in India for a while I was so expecting her to say it's a cheela, but then nope. And as far as I have seen avocados are expensive here...
Wondering if the cashew cream can be made cheaper by using a proportion of melon seeds with the cashews... Any pointers?
@@SGeerdink1 that's a very in depth thought I must say, but it actually sounds like a very good experiment
Indian cuisine is very easy to adapt into the vegan lifestyle, so far in my experience.
Please report about the recent HUGE controversy regarding Amul (India dairy company) *after PETA’s suggestion to start selling vegan milk.* Some BJP clowns somehow managed to convince themselves that this suggestion was an “anti-national” attack against India and that it is a “conspiracy plot by USA to destroy India’s economy”. These are the same brainless dangerous hypocrite clowns that attack people for eating beef (gau rakshas) *but still consume dairy products* completely IGNORING the fact that today’s Dairy industry causes just as much suffering to cows as the beef industry does *if not more* .
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc have you seen where does Amul gets milk from?? From local farmers. And if they stopped buying milk from them they'll be rendered jobless. Pataa nahin kahaan-kahaan se moorkhaadhiraaj aa jaate hain gyaan dene.
@@anshumaansinghthakur A single cow used for milk can drink up to 50 gallons of water per day-or twice that amount in hot weather-and it takes 683 gallons of water to produce just 1 gallon of cow milk. while producing 1 gallon of soy milk only requires 50 gallons of water.
By going vegan, one person can save approximately 219,000 gallons of water a year. ~
Also The fodder grown for cattle occupies 5 times or more the land required than producing soybeans. The rapidly shifting trend towards Veganism automatically give enough time for farmers to switch to other crops (or soy) whenever in demand. Don't worry about farmer, it's a fake plot to defend dairy cruelty
Demand for vegan means world plant milk/dairy alternatives market will be USD$52.58 billion by 2028. Plants in vegan milks are abundant in India. It’s Good news for Indian farmers. Unilever is into vegan food. Why can't Amul? Smart businesses respond to trends.
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc Amul and Unilever are not comparable. The dairy industry in India is different from that of the US. Amul is a co-operative they work with several small dairy farmers. Those farmers could be people who own only one or two cows/buffalos and that could be their sole source of income. The way small local farmers raise their cattle is different from a large commercial farm in the US. Not an apple to apple comparison.
@@SM-hn5le Dairy industry is extremely cruel even in India, if not more. Please know about the dairy and milk products u are consuming know about the whole process of dairy industry and cruelty behind the milk (in India) i would recommend to watch these videos- "the unholy cattle of India" & "deadly dairy" 🙏
Did u even think of how much pain a cow or buffalo experiences when her body is used for repeated pregnancy due to the demand for the milk, and what happens to the cow or buffalo when she is no longer able to produce milk.
All the cows and buffaloes are either sent to slaughter houses (katal khane) or they are left on the road to starve, eat plastic garbage and live a meserable life (we all know the life of cattles on the road in India) and they ultimately die from starvation, poisoning, diseases, or accident. Please research on it and spread the awareness in India. Proud to be Vegan.
In fairness what you call Indian and Korean 'vegan' are just traditional foods. American Vegan foods are modern trendy foods
I wouldn't call it modern trendy foods but rather it's more substituted products with lot of salt and not natural/organic at all
That's an overgeneralization. Part of the problem is it's difficult to figure out what's American considering American food is really just a hodgepodge of other cultures. Like most american vegan food seems like curry, stir fry, buddha bowls, mexican food in any way, pasta, etc. Not so foreign foods are like veggie burgers, salads, potato hashes, soups, oatmeal, baked goods, and smoothies. But to take out foreign inspired foods from a typical American's diet isn't accurate.
@@sierraanne2280 exactly. non-Americans do not understand how culturally diverse America is. Korean, Indian, Mexican, Italian, etc. are often eaten as commonly as traditional "American" foods. Everything in this video could be considered American because, like you said, America has no cuisine - it is a melting pot
@@DD-ws6cu no it should not be considered American?
@@DD-ws6cu no, it's always xxxx-american. Like indian-american. The people might be american, but the roots of the dish lie elsewhere. Stop generalizing and trying to take things from other cultures as your own. Typical american thing to do
I like how Indian meals were all high in protein and without meat/dairy substitute
yeah because we really don't see vegan things as meat or milk substitute. they have their own taste and way to eat. I guess it's because Americans eat alot of meat in their daily cuisine so they substitute vegan things into it and our daily cuisines are already vegan/ vegetarian most of the time
But we do have in fact a lot of dairy based cuisine. Specially North India, the food is dairy or milk based. So you can call most indian cuisine as following strict vegetarianism, but it's not vegan :)
Lacto-vegetarianism is the typical diet of Indians who are vegans but include dairy. Just fyi.
Tofu was used as a cheese substitute.....
And she made cashew cream to substitute heavy cream.
Behan just made a cheela and called it a fritata 😭😂
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
Frittatas are cooked in a cast iron pan or oven-safe skillet because they are started on the stovetop and then finished in the oven. ...
LMAOOOOO 😭😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭 💀
lol
Hahahahah trueee
The Indian food looked amazing. Very easy to adapt a lot of Indian recipes…

Actually the most posh kinda Indians may choose to eat them. As an average Indian there are other simpler, cheaper n less exotic options.

@@shirokun4742 well. I'm not here to scratch history when Portugese came here. And I'm very well aware of what vegetables were brought by foreign traders/rulers.
Take a trip to puri Jagannath. The mahabhog chappan bhog constitutes only Indian vegetables.
Middle class constitutes the majority in Indian population, which needs to be represented.
When was the last time u actually saw middle being represented?

Indian food is easily some of the best vegan and vegetarian food - they've had hundreds of years to perfect this amazing cuisine :)
I’m korean American and other than korean food obviously, Indian food is the only other cuisine that I find delicious.
@@clorozweepvmundosalazar5153 I love everything Korean but personally i think the vegan food at least, is not as great as Indian (no hate just a preference), Korean food is just a bunch of boiled veggies in water with some sprinkling of sauces/salt I just wish there was more seasoning and frying of onions and tomatoes. It looks amazing on plates but just not the same as I expected in my mouth.
@@kanamenoname210 Actually, I have been visiting a few Asian channels recently.. I watched a few Japanese meal preps yesterday. And I was uncomfortable watching her put soy sauce, different kinds of wines and vinegars, etc in everything she made. What exactly are those things? Not good for the body I guess? Is there a way I can tell the chef or cook there to make my food without those if I visit those countries? Will my meals taste good then?
@@WoSarvatraHain soy sauce and vinegar isn't bad for you--
@@sinosoviet I can't digest them
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO!! People only think of American/western foods when it comes to veganism. When you incorporate global cuisines it is actually so doable to eat plant based!
Lol, I think of American foods when it comes to bad/boring/complicated vegan food. The rest of the world's vegan food is amazing
@@Xkittyloverr1997 haha same its just that veganism is more popular in America cause people other than Americans don't even realise that what they are eating is totally vegan
not only doable, i would argue it is better and more nutritious and more interesting
@@sanskritipatel3943 I think that prior to being colonized the majority of African and Asian countries rarely ate meat. The term vegan didn't exist because they didn't feel the need to include animal products in their meals. That's probably why they tended to live much longer than Europeans too.
People only think of hard core meat lovers when it comes to American/Western food whereas Asian specially indian food is what people think of when it comes to vegan or vegetarian food as it has history of veganism in their cuisine!
The best part of Indian cuisine is that you don't have to veganise most of the dishes as its vegan on its own though it's called vegetarian
There is no vegan tradition in India. Its a western concept.
In our tradition food is divided into 3 types:
Satvic : vegetarian and doesn't include onion and garlic (usually practised by people who do yoga and achieve Nirvana or Moksha)
Rajasic : all food except non vegetarian also includes very spicy food.
Tamasic : Non vegetarian food
Our body types is also based on these qualities, if a persons body is of Tamasic quality he or she should avoid tamasic food to rejuvenate the body etc.
Also the timing of food to eat is important, according to the tradition eat only between the time period of Sun rise and sun set, because it is said that our digestive fire is in sync with the sun, at noon our capacity to digest is at maximum.
Eat the food grown in our surroundings, food grown in similar weather conditions as we live in is easy to assimilate in our body.
There's also several combination of foods which shouldn't consume together etc.
Nope. Indian food are vegetarian not vegan. We love our clarified butter (ghee), cottage cheese (paneer), milk, yogurt (curd), buttermilk and cheese. I don't know how it is in western countries but in India milk is collected from local farmers (most farmers has atleast 1 cow in India) and they treat the cows as a part of the family (we even celebrate their birthdays every year)
P.S: Vegan substitutes for milk isn't healthy, infact alternative products for milk like soya milk, almond milk is injurious to health in long term if used regularly.
@@krushna4181 coconut milk is used in India especially in south, few dishes we replace milk if not available with coconut milk.
@@0arjun077 Coconut milk is used to balance the spiciness and to add the the flavour, it is used as an alternative to milk.
@@krushna4181yes, it is also used in desserts.
If you were born into a lacto vegetarian family in India, you'd know that most of the food is already vegan. If not, can easily be made so!
But being vegan & vegetarian is different. Lacto vegetarians consume daily products while vegans don't consume any animal food (including dairy)
@@kdjoshi726 yeah dude..ik. I said it's very easy to switch any dairy products to vegan ones in India.
@@kdjoshi726 lol read the original comment again
We as indians never realised how we sometimes had completely vegan meals and how it's quite easy to be vegan. Im a non vegetarian but I love to eat vegetarian too. The snack options are the best in vegetarian.
There is a difference between vegan and vegetarian
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc Thanks for the unnecessary information 😀
@@jabeenkulsum3272 You don't seem to know the difference between vegetarian and vegan
@@anadianBaconator Indian snacks don't really have much dairy included so they're basically vegan(represented as vegetarian) but whatever pleases u.
@@NaveenKumar-ti1fc why do you guys think we don't know Indian food has dairy?

@@irocktheband2 is it rare to find half Indian and half Korean?
@@vaishnavijinna2726 yes
When I became vegetarian as a child, my family started eating a ton of Indian food because there’s so much variety. Super high amounts of flavorful veggie options but also plenty of meat based dishes. Made things really easy for me growing up. I’m not vegan myself but it’s not surprising to me that there are some pretty simple substitutions
Most of the Indian traditions and customs have deep rooted scientific reasoning to them. And with the food practice too, Indians are far ahead since ancient times. From serving food in banana leaves to having plant based food and avoiding beef. Indian culture is truly unique and respectable.
Basically, the things are all mentioned in ancient scripts of Ayurveda. We still unknowingly follow it.
Literally it very easy for indians to turn vegetarian and vegan 80% of our food is meat free....hence kanchan was referring it by saying home, childhood and indian restaurants...vegan is just new label for our traditional food...welcome world to spice things up with Indian traditions...
bruh fr tho alot of us have vegan food everyday without realising it
@@crazyformyshelf7942 agreed..but india you will get vegetarian options easily
Vegan is not just a new label. There is a lot of difference between vegetarians and vegans as vegetarians use lots of dairy products which is so unhealthy and vegans don't, which makes a huge difference in cooking, animal welfare and our health too.
@@nisargab19 Yup. It’s ridiculous reading these comments seeing people brag about indians being vegetarian or vegan when a majority of them aren’t doing it for morals and ethics regarding animal rights. It’s so annoying when people only focus on the plant based food part of being vegan. Most of these people aren’t even vegan they’re just plant based because I see these same people defending the dairy industry in India and making anti vegan arguments 🤦🏾♀️
@@karensabortionclinic7491 True . Even if many of these take milk products like ghee, milk, butter once in a month, they can't be called as vegan . But these people don't know 😂
India's population (according to wikipedia) is about 40% vegetarian and most non vegetarians also eat generous amounts of veg foods so most of our foods is pretty delicious and super easy to convert to vegan versions
❤💯🤪
Most non vegetarians at least here in Rajasthan are actually vegetarians 95% of the time in a year. They only eat meat (chicken, mutton) occasionally like on birthday parties etc
That Indian lady could have made regular Indian vegan meals rather than westernised it. I've had delicious Indian vegan meals and they were delicious . Rajma and garbanzo curry with rice were my favourites

A nice demonstration of diversity!
The Indian dishes were a bit westernized though. For instance, dal-rice is an absolute staple in India. Why use quinoa instead of rice?
I believe it’s higher in protein!
India naturally has so many vegan options, that we don't need to substitute any dishes. It's super easy to be a vegan in India and its not even expensive
I'm Indian and was raised vegetarian. Am slowly transitioning to veganism. I literally have to change nothing in my diet because 90 percent of our cuisine is vegan in nature which includes everyday meals, all my favourite snacks, street food, etc. India is literally the best country in which to be vegan.
That is not what literally means though. If your are transitioning from vegetarian to vegan than that means that you are changing things in your diet. Which means that you literally ARE changing things in your diet.
@@Freya778 what she means is in comparison to a lot of other vegans from other countries with different cuisines i.e America she didn’t have to change much, because most dishes in Indian cuisine are already vegan by nature.
@@Freya778 they probably mean they don't have to change many things in their diet because the only difference in vegetarian and vegan is that vegans don't consume dairy based products and it IS really easy to turn 100% vegan if you're indian, just don't consume dairy based products like panner, ghee and you're vegan.
The indian meals have protein in all three meals.
Koren and american meals have protein only in their dinner.

You forget that veggies also contain protein.
It's just an option. It is common to eat aaloo parantha (like a pancake with savoury boiled potato filling) in India which is all carbs, as well as just something 'unhealthy' as Jalebi, for breakfast. There's always plenty to choose from in any culture.

Thats actually not true. Yes, we have a lot of vegetarian dishes, but it also really depends on where in India you are. If you're in the north, you'll see a lot of meat in the diets there
It slowly evolved out of a very civilised society, where intrinsic nature of foods were closely studies though self-experimentation. That’s why India is the only place in the world with an extensive vegetarian cuisine.
@@allthingsnn1955 I know, I was comparing it to the majority. At least how much I have seen most of the (vegetarian) food that we prepare is like kinda vegan. I know there are exceptions to non-veg, paneer, malai, cream and all that stuff.
@@tyrannasparx Absolutely, currently on the way to discovering the actual science behind certain techniques and ingredients used. It's mind-blowing to see how are ancestors knew so much!
@@allthingsnn1955 North India is massive and diverse. I'm not sure you know that.
Indian food looks so good omg…okay I know what I’m going to eat next week
Mmm 😭😭 Kanchan's recipes looked so simple & delicious. I love Indian food, such an abundance of flavoursome plant-based dishes. Thanks for sharing!
India is a heaven for vegetarians and vegans. I was consuming vegan food every day from so many years even before realising what it actually means.
In Indian food, naturally vegan food such as dosa/idli, rice with sambar, roti sabji, etc would have been better representative. We don't usually get avacado, etc here. Maybe this is Indian-American
Every person from India who I've given Avocado or Guacamole has loved it

Just how every American dish needed a processed pre packed food item and Korean and Indian didn't?
Thats why america is popularly known for its obesity rate
Nothing natural, all processed foods
Bc america eats A LOT of meat and processed foods. Our Indian and Korean food is truly homemade using simple ingredient
America eats a LOT of meat- primarily because it’s so cheap here. In order to make “traditional” American foods vegan, you have to add a lot of substitutes :/
Yes! I tasted some American dishes that were just meant to heat up or eat cold and it was disgusting. The food tasted like pure chemicals and had no texture. I am from Switzerland.
Love this segment. Buzzfeed should also post this on their main channel. And do it again but with different countries
Through Indian and Korean cuisine I've discovered such flavourful and pleasant to cook vegan dishes, that my family likes. Both provide different health benefits. As a person with digestion area problems, sensitive to spices and frying, it was surprising that actually the ingredients oftenly balance each other, so my stomach doesn't suffer, yet I'm perfectly nutritioned.
Absolutely adore Kanchan! She was so thoughtful on her description of the health benefits of her dishes and their ingredients! Also those dishes looked the most appetizing and healthy!! 💛
Love this! In my experience, it seems like Asian food is the holy grail of vegan food. A lot of them can be easily veganized, especially Indian food. Bless them 😭🙏🏾 I think my favorite cuisines as a vegan are Chinese, Indian, and Italian or Mexican, hands down.
India and Korea rlly just have that natural veggie dishes while the American just said "I want to eat meat but I can't so let's use some substitute." Well just for an observation.
Ya most Americans regular diet consists of a lot of meat and dairy products, we love our meat and dairy😢 whenever I can find a good substitute it brings me great joy LOL
Natural veggie dishes?? lool
Kudos to Kanchan for having a substantial protein source at every meal instead of just at dinner.
Indian vegetarian and vegan food are some of my favorite dishes ever, even though I'm not vegan myself. I love how flavorful, nutritious and colorful they are!
Yes!!! India has so much to offer for vegan food!!!
As a Southerner, Rachel made me smile with the grits. So good! And she didn't add sugar. LOL.
who puts sugar in grits??? what????? im southern and ive never heard of that
@@alianareads134 it's a thing, but definitely not in the South.
@@aprilcaddell6335 Yes, it is. Grits can be sweet or savory and both are delicious!
Luckily, when I was in India, in places where there is tourism, you can find vegan food easily however, if you are in places where there's no much tourism, you can only eat chapati, rice, noodles, traditional dahl but for anything else you have to make sure there aren't any dairies in them. I think I also ate at a Hare Khrisna restaurant where they had both vegan and vegetarian.
🙏😊🍴😁😘😉🤗💖
Vegan isn't hard to find here. You just have to search for dishes which doesn't have any dairy in it. South Indian food in this case is good
The Indian foods lady is amazing! Got super hungry watching this 😍
In india the simplest lunch or dinner which is a roti (made from whole wheat flour that is mostly gluten free).sabzi dal or rice with sambar/rasam (lentils basically)and veggies is purely vegan. I feel that a vegan would find the greatest variety of vegan dishes in india
*Korean porridge looks really healthy and delicious.*
*A few drops of sesame oil at the end make it a perfect meal.*
*I hope you all eat deliciously and stay healthy.🧡🧡🧡👍👍👍*
i need a korean mom to feed me
I observed that sesame and seaweed are common ingredients in Korean food. Is it the norm or is it that she just chose dishes which uses sesame and seaweed?
@@khabib2853 Dude, ask your mom to feed you, I'm sure you'll enjoy that more.
We call that dish as Kanji in Southern Part of India and there is various versions of making it. We use oorukgai (Southern Indian pickel - sesame oil, Red chilli powder, salt and any vegetables like raw mango, garlic, gooseberry, chillies, chick peas, lemon, citron so on or fish, prawn) along with it or moormilagai (salted dry chillies which are fried).
@@krushna4181 very common ingredients
Me watching as an Indian: Oh she's making Besan Cheela in the breakfast!
Her: Masala Chickpea Frittata
Me: 👁👄👁
I know names of indian dishes aren't something people are used to internationally, but that's no excuse for substituting actual names with similar looking western dishes. Imagine if Chinese introduced their noodle and chowmein as "Chinese Spaghetti" to the west 🥲
Actually this is not traditional besan chilla and everyone knows this is atleast Indian inspired dish......and I just got to know that Japanese have their own version pasta dish which involves ketchup (not common in Italian cuisine)..... although pasta is Italian, the dish is Japanese because of their high use of ketchup in a lot of dishes
@@mathematicshindi1444 hmm maybe you are right...still Frittata is made of eggs. And I felt it was closer to a cheela with a twist, considering ingredients and expected taste...😅
Pretty sure I have seen the Chinese spaghetti 🤣
@@sanchimittal9614 yeah, but her dish might be inspired by indian style veg omelette which is famous on internet and I think it's a lot like chilla itself
U had me rolling on bed like What? Chinese spaghetti 🍝😂😂😂😂
Is anyone going to point out that literally all of them said “this dish brings me straight back to my childhood”
America’s definition of “vegan” blows my mind as all they do is have substitutions versus the Korean And Indians meals were actual meals.
I found it appalling as well but please don't take this as a 100% true representation of what all vegans in America eat
Most vegans in America don’t eat like that- as a vegetarian I certainly don’t- but most “traditional” American food is very meat or dairy heavy, primarily due to its low cost here, so making it vegan requires a lot of substitutes :/
I think you're misinterpreting the video. The American one just veganized typical American food but I dont think its what most American vegans eat on a daily basis..
That’s because most American grew up eating animal products which is why American vegans need substitutes.
@@awagner4646 And I think you I’m misinterpreted my comment. I used to be vegan and yes I live in America. I’m well aware they don’t eat that on a daily basis. It’s not that serious. Lol
Love this, please make this a series and include more countries/cultures and cuisines, thanks!!
For anyone unfamiliar with Hing, that is Hindi for Asefetida which is what I have seen in Western supermarkets.
I personally found the Korean and Indian dishes so much more appetising than the American ones, they seemed to have more fresh ingredients and more complex flavours with all those wonderful spices. Would be interesting to see Rachel incorporate some of those flavours into American dishes :)
What about our old indian traditional vegan food like idli dosa rice sambhar chutney etc??
EXACTLY!!! There are so many traditional Indian dishes that are naturally vegan and affordable. But these people have to add avocado to every-freaking-thing!!!
@@mauritious1 or just plain roti sabzi.
@@mauritious1 they are Americanized that's why
@@sanskritipatel3943 Even in America, most of these ingredients are not exactly cheap. It'd be a much better representation for vegans AND Indians to just go for idli, sambhar, roti sabji, etc.
Wow so many recipes!!! And vegans wonder what they should eat!!!
Awesome video!! Loved seeing recipes from different cultures in one video
I am just here to say... everyone'd dishes are so good. And I appreciate it very much. You 3 girls did a great job about sharing what you all know about your comfort vegan dishes. And i really hope for more such wonderful videos to know each other's culture, we really need to appreciate each other's culture (comment section going on with putting tags that "mine is better "/ "yours is worst")
More of these please!! Loved it!! Would love to see some more countries food as well.
As a fellow plant-based eater, I'm both surprised and concerned about the lack of protein in the Korean and American meals. I would be starving all day long if I ate like that!
@Shreya Ganti she said the Korean & American diet lacked protein not the Indian diet
@@brook6005 Exactly. I AM Indian LOL and am very familiar with the nutritious benefits of our cuisine. Lots of plant-based protein there!
@@rakong246 yea Indian food is known for being delicious & nutritionally dense. I think she just misread what you were saying lol
me too! i'm surprised most people aren't talking about this ???
Many Indian food have most of the nutrients required like we don't take those vitamin tablets or protein tablets unless told by the doctor himself if a person is in extreme need of it.... Otherwise most of them don't take tablets like that....
I'm not a vegan, but these dishes looked so delicious and filling. I'm going to attempt a few of them.
India has some of the best cuisine on the planet! I loved the Korean ideas as well and I will definitely be trying some more K-recipes.
indian and korean have dope vegan food cuz of hindu and buddhist past wow :)
India is such a diverse country tho, although Hindu for the most of the part, there are so many cultures here!! Everyday you make a new friend who's from a family with different beliefs and faiths!! :)

What’s interesting is all the Indian dishes made by kanchan are dishes my family and I eat everyday and we aren’t even vegan . That’s just basic Indian cooking 😋
I loved seeing the vegan korean recipes!!
PLEASE make more of these!! ❤️❤️
More of this content please! This was awesome to watch 👏👏👏
Such a great collaboration. Ofcourse eastern cuisines have had centuries of civilizations healthily thriving on vegan-vegetarian diets. But brownie points for the effort of Westerners to try and adapt to veganism for the planet's well being. There's no comparison when it comes to caring for Our Planet together. ❤️ Hope to see more of such inspiring collabs. 💞
Kanchan, your ring is *beautiful*. I kept pausing the video to get a closer look. 😍 Really enjoyed this multicultural approach to vegan recipes. Please do more. 😁
I loved all of the shared dishes! Thank you!
Loved seeing so many amazing recipes made from scratch!
Everything can be veganized nowadays! Greetings from Mexico. ❤
I'd love it if a series can be made out of this!!! We could continue to learn three different cultural ways to eat vegan foods. Even repeating cuisines is cool. The more easy and diverse recipes the better!!!
Very true.I am intrigued by South Korean cuisine.I would love to have some cold noodles for lunch!.
Yes a series please 😁!!!
This was awesome! I'd love it to be a series
Just got kimchi from my nail lady yesterday. I can't wait to try that cold noodle dish. Looks so good!
Kanchan just pretended to veganize already vegan/vegeterian Indian food😂😂😭
this made me realize why I was having so much trouble being vegan in America while still eating whole foods. I have such a hard time thinking of vegan meals here because I try to base them off typical american meals and its just not working. definitely gonna take some inspiration from Indian and Korean food
Thank you so much for this video it helped me a lot in creating recipes for my dad who's in a lot of pain currently due to a brain (hopefully not) tumour. I cook for him anty-inflamatory dishes with ingredients that de indian dishes already has!! You made my life very easy.
I love Korean and Indian cuisines! Thank you for this video-definitely will be incorporating these dishes in my heavy rotation
I usually make nutloafs or lentil loafs instead of meat substitute loafs, so that was interesting. I don't think I'll try that, but I really liked the Chickpea Frittata, Matar Paneer, and Clam Chowder soup ideas.
Regardless of what we eat through the dietary aspect of veganism, as long as we're opposing our fellow animals being bred, used, or killed we'll be giving them the basic respect they deserve as the unique individuals who they are. We just have to remember 'why' we're doing it and the 'how' usually becomes quite easy 👍
I'm high-raw vegan because it's the most efficient for the body to process - less complex DNA is easier to break down into component parts, with no leftovers such as hormones that will be floating around my system. Plants are just as much our fellows though, so give thanks when you take their lives so they can become a part of you
Great episode! I love seeing variety of cuisines cooked by people who are from that background.
The Indian & Korean dishes seem really refreshing !
Wow the Dal Palak is extremely similar the way my mom (who’s Haitian) makes Mais Moulin…I wonder if there’s Indian influence there. Very interesting. This was cool to watch 💕
I loved this! I hope to see more videos about Korean vegan food!
I love this idea! All the dishes looked so amazing!!!
Great to see more food being covered!
we Indians eat vegan meals almost daily without even planning. I love how healthy and unhealthy our cuisines can be. we are jack of all trades
and I would never understand why americans always use vegan things as "substitute" of meat and call it that. it's kinda annoying lol
Tbh the non vegetarians in India Also don't eat non veg food every day they prefer vegetarian diet every day just non veg is made occasionally... i am proud to be vegetarian ❤ we have majority vegetarian dishes which are best stuff to be happen on earth
I don't think we Indians like americans & other countries can eat meat everyday as it's quite hard to digest (again depending upon the person & their body). Also since meat is quite expensive here (most of the times)
You must have not spent time in Kerala 😀😀
@@phalgunimathur7697 yeah i am so lucky that i am born in the state called Gujarat which has majority religion with morals values culture mercy on animals and nice variety of vegetarian food so
A couple of years late, but this is a "keeper". I loved seeing the 3 cultures on plates for an entire day. Shall check out more of your videos.
This is great! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Interesting that the American one was the only one that used cheese/meat replacements. In the US, people like to demonize food that isn't American citing that it's unhealthy however, it's definitely not true.
Demonize food that isn’t American? I’ve never heard someone do that in my life O.o that’s a bunch of nonsense
@@thetiredworm2100 non American, people of color, foods are often toted as unhealthy. You might not recognize it because you're American. As a Puerto Rican person, our food is often times talked about as being unhealthy, high in carbs and fat. This goes for other ethnicities and cuisines as well
Interesting. I’m from California as well and everyone I know consider “unhealthy” food to be hamburgers, French fries, potato chips, soda, fried chicken, etc. foods that are often associated with American diets. So I definitely grew up learning people in the US ate much worse than other countries/cultures and that is reflected in our obesity rate. But also it is common to be in a bubble of similar thinkers and not even realize it, so I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if there are large groups of people who think their food is healthier/superior compared to other countries.
@Sarah Wong Many nutritionists and dietitians will tell people to stop eating rice or root vegetables if they think the person needs to lose weight or if they have diabetes. These are foods that are the core of so many POC diets.
