Jain Recipes
Jain customs require them to follow a particular diet, generally without onion, garlic, potatoes, eggplant, and other root vegetables. They do not consume particular food during monsoon season and Paryushan.
This often makes people think that Jain food is bland and may not be flavorful. But this is not true, and we can make delicious and flavorful traditional to modern dishes without using these restricted ingredients.
I can tell you this because I was born and raised in a Jain family!
This section contains various recipes suitable for the Jain diet. Some recipes use fresh ginger, which can easily be skipped or replaced by dry ginger powder.
