Sound familiar?

Does this sound like you?

Going vegan in an Indian kitchen is hard for these four reasons.

🥛
Dairy is in everythingChai, curd, ghee, paneer and cream in every gravy.
💪
Worried about proteinWithout paneer and curd, where does protein come from?
☕
Chai doesn't taste rightPlant milks split or taste strange.
🍽️
Family and restaurantsRelatives and menus both assume ghee and cream.

This plan solves all four: simple dairy swaps, a protein anchor at every meal, a chai that works, and clear scripts for restaurants and weddings.
