Welcome to Veggie Platter, a collection of vegetarian recipes from India and around.

Most of the Indians learn recipes from their moms which have been in their families from generations. They are like good old preserved heirlooms. I am no exception to this. The source and inspiration to this blog are my mom’s recipes. In addition to those, I will be posting my own recipes that I create when I have those Martha like moments. Also I will add recipes inspired by other sources.

My parents are from Andhra Pradesh, India and they have been calling Bangalore, Karnataka their home for the past 36 years. So we grew up eating the best food from both of the southern states. Here is a collection of those recipes and more, served on this platter for you to enjoy. Hope someday this blog would help my kids as well.

To me, my blog is a way of saying “Thank you mom, a way of celebrating food, a way of communicating with the fellow food bloggers and most importantly documenting my culinary journey.
