Introduction to Vegan Indian Cuisine
Rise of Veganism in the UK & Cambridge
Veganism has seen a tremendous rise across the UK, with Cambridge becoming a hub for conscious, plant-powered living. Health, sustainability, and animal welfare have driven more diners to seek vegan-friendly restaurants that don’t compromise on flavor.
Why Indian Cuisine is Naturally Vegan-Friendly
Indian food has long embraced vegetarianism, making it a natural fit for plant-based Indian food. With pulses, lentils, vegetables, and spices at its core, many traditional dishes are either inherently vegan or easily adapted.
