Carrot Dogs - marinated and charred carrots rolled into pitas with salad
This week for meat-free Monday recipe and easy vegan cooking on a budget is carrot hotdogs. Aka marinated and barbecued carrots wrapped in a homemade pita.
Note: this isn’t a recipe that will easily cross to the UK where barbecuing is attempted once a year, when the weather gods align and someone has the time and inclination to burn the coals until they become barbecue-able embers. In Australia we just use bottled gas.
First cut any large carrots and boil for about five minutes, or when they reach the tender but not quite cooked stage.

WABI-SABI VEGAN BREAKFAST RICE TOPPINGS | ecoTrain Simple Vegan Cooking On A Budget Month!
LIFE IS CHANGE
I began the morning thinking of a simple three ingredient meal and black coffee for breakfast, but something was nudging me to add a few more ingredients to spice up my dish and create a wonderful breakfast meal.
Wabi-sabi is the Japanese term used to describe beauty through impermanence. It seeks to find beauty in the simplicity and rustic elements that follow natures' way, and the path to enlightenment, which began with zen monks and samurais in the 13th century. Centered on the philosophy of seeing the beauty in imperfections, I see it as connected to minimalism and the yin-yang opposite of the western concept of modern beauty - a perfect complement.
Cooking for me involves wabi-sabi and in a way is very intuitive. Even if I have a tried and tested recipe, I'm open to changes and additions that may change the texture and character of a dish.
MARKET DAY
As my fresh fruits and vegetable vendor did not bring me my supply of bananas for breakfast, and looking at the pantry, I realized that I needed to use up what's left and re-stock on our supplies and groceries. For breakfast, I started off with just three ingredients in mind: button mushrooms, black beans and pineapple tidbits.

Spicy Vegan Tempeh and Potato Hash & 3 Years Blogging {ecoTrain Simple Vegan Cooking on a Budget Month}
I have been in the kitchen for a good portion of the afternoon, as per my usual meal prepping Sunday routine. After missing last week's market, I loaded up on plenty of goodies yesterday to make up for it. There are still plenty of glorious late summer fruits and veggies hanging on for a bit longer, and the start of the autumn bounty, as well. We are quite lucky here in my part of the world that the growing season is quite long so it is rare to not be able to fill our plates with mostly locally grown, fresh produce.

ecoTrain Simple Vegan Cooking On A Budget Month! - Sautéed Broccoli and Cauliflower [EN] // Sautéed Broccoli and Cauliflower [ES]
Broccoli and cauliflower are by far my favorite vegetables, they are really delicious in raw or cooked salads, stewed, sautéed, fried, overflowing, au gratin, in short, as you can imagine they are really delicious, besides being very economical and productive when preparing them. This week I wanted to offer my family a vegan diet, but above all delicious because many times we think it can't be like that, but these sauteed cabbages with vegetables prove the opposite.

Recipe: Vegan Carrot Soup With Ginger and Lemongrass
This carrot lemongrass soup seriously delivers. On top of the carrots it’s got ginger, lemongrass, garlic, red curry paste, coconut milk, coriander, and lemon zest. The flavour combinations are so completely matched that there isn’t a hint of the “rootiness” of the carrot. It’s a good transition soup–the carrots make it about it Fall, but the levity in its flavour keeps its roots (no pun intended) in the Summer.
ecoTrain Simple Vegan Cooking On A Budget Month: Khaman Dhokla
.JPG)
The specialty of Indian food is that most of the food here is basically vegan but since the consumption of milk and milk products increases after the white revolution, vegan food has also become non vegan due to the adulteration of dairy products.
There are some examples like Jalebi, which is a vegan dessert but since it is started to fry in animal fat like ghee and curd is added in batter it has become non-vegan. Similarly Khaman Dhokla is also a vegan food but curd is started to add in its batter so it also become non vegan.
Both these recipe are excellent and delicious when prepared without using any dairy product.
Today in ecoTrain Challenge I want to share a very simple but delicious traditional food of Gujarat state of India, it is known as Khaman Dhokla
Here Khaman means fermentation and Dhokla is a preparation made of different lentils.
Basically it is a recipe made by a fermented batter but now a days prepared instantly using baking powder and baking soda.
It can be prepared with rice flour or gram flour. Dhokla made with rice flour is white in colour while gram flour dhokla is yellow in colour. Both have their own distinct flavour.

Vegan Brown Sugar Cookies Recipe [ecoTrain Simple Vegan Cooking on A Budget Month]
When we think of cookies, we might be lazy to make it yourself at home. Likewise with me who thinks so. But that doesn't happen to me anymore when I only had a low budget.
Now I am used to saving on food expenses. Making your own meals at home is both happiness and saves money.
So I always learn to make meals on a low budget that I adjust to my home supplies. I often modify the recipes that I get on the internet to be lower budget but the results are still delicious. Even I did not expect the results to be delicious beyond my expectations.
