I love chickpeas for a simple meal. They're nutritious and cheap, and if you cook them up as in this recipe, for example, they cook quickly and take on lots of juicy flavor. This quick and easy curried chickpea recipe uses canned ingredients, but has lots of spices to give it a real Indian flavor. Pair it with rice or another healthy whole grain for a simple yet complete entree.Subscribe to the weekly vegetarian newsletter

Indian paneer cheese works well on your indoor or outdoor grill, as it chars lightly instead of melting away like other cheeses. In this Indian tandoori-inspired recipe, paneer cheese is coated in a yogurt sauce, smothered in tandoori spices, and grilled on skewers just until lightly charred. Serve it up with extra sauce. Yum!
Pre-heat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium low heat. Skewer paneer on soaked bamboo skewers, and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly charred, coating well with extra sauce.
Serve your grilled paneer drizzled with extra sauce, or serve the extra sauce on the side for dipping.

These fancy raw food pancakes or flapjacks take some time in the dehydrator but are a fantastic addition to a raw food breakfast. The harder the dates, the longer you'll need to soak them. Thirty minutes at least, even for relatively soft dates, is normal. You want them to blend up evenly and provide the raw batter with stickiness. You'll probably find these raw food pancakes to be sweet enough on their own, but if you can handle a little more decadence, try some Raw Almond Vanilla Spread to go with them.
1. Soak the dates in water to cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grind the buckwheat groats in a blender or food processor until they are fine crumbs, almost flour. Set them aside in a separate bowl, add the shredded coconut and mix well.
2. In a food processor, blend the remaining ingredients on high speed for 20 seconds or until a chunky batter forms. Add to the buckwheat coconut mixture and combine well.
3. Scoop pancakes onto Teflex-lined dehydrator trays and flatten them out to your desired size. The smaller they are, the less time they'll take to dehydrate. You'll want them to be about 1/2-inch thick to start because they'll flatten out a little as they dry out.
4. Dehydrate at 115°F for 6 to 8 hours, flip them over, remove the Teflex sheets and continue dehydrating for another 4 to 6 hours. You want them to be a bit squishy still when you press on them with the outsides not too dry. They are definitely best served fresh out of the dehydrator but will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days.
perhaps toasted pita bread or bagel chips. It would make a nice twist to cream cheese and jam sandwiches, and would be great with non-dairy vegan cream cheese. Another idea? Gourmet cream cheese and Nutella sandwich anyone?Link: Apple cream cheese spread video recipe
