Hereβs a Local Samosa curated list of our top picks to elevate your vegan pantry.
Millieβs Vegan Cheese
For many, the toughest part of going vegan is saying goodbye to creamy, delicious cheese. Millie Mitra's Bengaluru-based brand offers organic, small-batch vegan cheeses, made from fermented Indian cashews, Himalayan pink salt, and natural seasonings. Donβt miss her best-selling sundried and jalapeno wheel, black pepper cheese wheel, or rosemary, thyme, and oregano spread.
Wakao Foods
Jackfruit is gaining popularity among Indian vegans, thanks to its versatility in regional dishes. Wakao Foods is helping to put a spotlight on this superfood with offerings like jackfruit chunks for dals and curries, as well as shredded jackfruit for cutlets, tacos, and even biryani.
Blue Tribe
For those transitioning from a meat-based diet, Blue Tribe offers plant-based versions of your favourite dishes like keema, kebabs, and nuggets, all packed with the same nutritional benefits as meat, ensuring you get your protein fix. Their brand ambassadors are Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.
Hello Tempayy
Tempeh, a soy-based protein with a unique texture, can replace meat in popular Indian dishes. Hello Tempayy provides plain chunks and ready-to-cook flavours, making it a gut-friendly and protein-rich addition to your meals.
Plant Made
Why not veganise eggs? Plant Madeβs vegetarian eggs, made from moong dal and chickpeas, can be used in a variety of savoury dishes like scrambled eggs and omelettes, offering a healthy protein alternative.
Bombucha
This vegan version of traditional kimchi retains the sharp, pungent flavour without fish sauce. Bombuchaβs kimchi is great for elevating instant ramen or adding depth to stir-fries.
