Restaurants are increasingly incorporating plant-based dishes into their menus to support climate action. This shift is driven by the environmental impact of meat production, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. By adopting plant-based ingredients, restaurants can reduce their carbon footprint while offering healthier and more sustainable options to customers. In India, restaurants like Neehee’s are leading the way, offering a wide range of vegan Indian street food options that are both delicious and environmentally friendly.
Some popular plant-based dishes include Indo-Chinese delights like Veggie Manchurian and Gobi Manchurian, as well as classic Indian entrees like Undhiyu Puri and Puri Bhaji. Restaurants are also experimenting with innovative ingredients like jackfruit, cashew cream, and truffle oil to create gourmet plant-based dishes.
