Yum! Am bookmarking the vegetarian steamed buns and baked mushroom risotto!
My favorite go-to vegetarian main is still kitchari. So comforting, easy to digest (unlike so many vegetarian meals) and supremely flavorful.

Lovely suggestions! I bookmarked almost every one :)
The Vegetable Lasagna with Butternut Béchamel sounds amazing. Will be making that soon!
Wished we would view it as a slideshow or something instead of scrolling up and down to match food and the photo. Or list the food under each rows. Oh well...
