Meatless Chili
“Sundays come

And Sundays go,

But it’s the Monday

That makes me say “Oh no!”

…and that is because every Monday my husband eats only vegetarian food. Now veg food has never been a difficult task for me. As an Indian, I grew up eating more vegetarian food than otherwise. But my husband didn’t. A strict meat-arian, it is sometimes a challenge to make vegetarian food for him that comes in the disguise of a meat dish a.k.a make it taste good enough to pass as “un-green”. After moving to the US, I discovered the world of mock meats and tofu, so I decided to re-create the celebrated Chili, sans any meat.  Was it a success..hmmm…I’d say so.

“Smells like meat

Tastes like it too,
