Plant Power Cooking Challenge - Week #15

How to Be Curated by PLANT POWER

Use the tags #naturalmedicine #vegan or #plantbased
WE don't mind what community you post in - although we prefer you post in the Eco-Train or Natural Medicine communities!
Ensure your recipes are plant based - although we don't preach any diets, this curation would like to focus on plants rather than dairy or meat additions to recipes.
Use clear, well focused photographs - and ORIGINAL content!

Colorful Seasoned Seitan

by: @blackberryskunk

I can't remember if it was last week or two weeks ago that I chose seitan as one of the ingredients for the Plant Power Weekly Cooking Challenge, but this recipe would've easily been the winner. Seitan has gone through multiple waves of hipness and hate, seemingly matching humans ever-changing tolerance and intolerance of gluten. Well, never buy bland and characterless seitan from the store again, because you are sure to like at least one of the seitan flavors in this recipe post, but more likely you will want to eat all of them.

Steamed Coconut Milk Rice Cakes 🥧 Ital Khmer Chefery 👩‍🍳

by: @sreypov

Can you have too much coconut flavor? The answer is no, at least for lovers of the humble coconut. This traditional Cambodian snack is not available outside Cambodia, and this chef would normally purchase these from a roadside hawker if she didn't currently live in Suriname. With geography against her, this chef decided to re-create a favorite snack from her homeland here in Suriname.

Kerala Style Pineapple Curry

by: @tegan.bellamine

This recipe is so appealing, and I'd like to think I even know what it smells like just from reading. My family and I make a very similar curry base that we enjoy adding fried peppers too, but I never would've thought to add pineapple. The flavors of this dish are literally floating on top of the curry for your eyes to see, and I know this is a dish my whole family would enjoy.

Gobi Manchurian

by: @shielashraf

Proper Chinese chefs would definitely disapprove of Indo-Chinese cuisine, which is basically India's take on Chinese food. Just like us Americans love Mexican and Italian cuisine, Indians love to eat Chinese food, but they've adapted this cuisine to the Indian palette through the centuries. Gobi Manchurian is one of the most iconic dishes of this niche cuisine, and this chef's preparation is spot-on, so do check it out.

A South Indian delicacy : Moong Dal Payasam

by: @chetanpadliya

Things are getting very Indian this week aren't they? Well, it wasn't my intention, but south Asian flavors are dominating this week's Plant Power curation. This north Indian chef prepared a south Indian sweet guaranteed to please. Usually I envision spicy and sour dishes when I think of south Indian cuisine, but I forget how many delicious sweets and desserts are to be found. This particular one is very rich and full of flavor.

I chose @blackberryskunk as the 5% beneficiary because her seitan varieties were absolutely outstanding.

We hope you get involved with posting lots of yummy #plantbased #vegan #naturalmedicine #ecotrain recipes! Both communities are now also supported by OCD, so good quality posts might also get a little bit of extra love. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay happy!
