The Foundation of Vegan Indian Cooking: Lentils, Pulses & Beans

No vegan Indian kitchen is complete without dal (lentils) and legumes. They’re the heart of Indian meals — rich in protein, fibre, and comfort.

At Anant Supermarkt, you’ll find:

• Toor Dal (Arhar Dal) – perfect for South Indian sambar and everyday dals.

• Masoor Dal (Red Lentils) – cooks fast and makes delicious, hearty soups.

• Moong Dal – light and easily digestible; ideal for khichdi or dal tadka.

• Chana Dal – adds texture and nutty flavour to curries and chutneys.

• Rajma (Kidney Beans) and Kabuli Chana (Chickpeas) – excellent for rajma masala, chole, or salads.

These protein-rich ingredients form the base of countless Indian vegan dishes.

Essential Grains & Flours

A vegan Indian pantry wouldn’t be complete without wholesome grains and flours that can be used for rotis, dosas, and snacks.
Stock up on:

• Basmati Rice – the foundation of biryanis and pulaos.

• Sona Masoori Rice – light and fluffy for everyday meals.

• Whole Wheat Atta – for soft chapatis and parathas.

• Besan (Gram Flour) – used in savoury pancakes, pakoras, and sweets like besan ladoo.

• Rice Flour – for dosa batters or gluten-free cooking.

These staples make it easy to prepare nourishing, plant-based meals every day.

Cooking Oils for Vegan Recipes

Indian recipes often depend on the right oil to bring out authentic flavours.
At Anant, you can choose from:

• Mustard Oil – bold and pungent, perfect for North Indian curries.

• Groundnut Oil – adds a nutty touch to stir-fries and snacks.

• Coconut Oil – ideal for South Indian dishes like avial or sambar.

• Sunflower Oil – a versatile, neutral base for all kinds of cooking.

All these oils are plant-based and help retain the authentic taste of Indian food while aligning with vegan principles.

Spices, Masalas & Condiments

Indian vegan food comes alive through the magic of spices.
Anant Supermarkt carries a wide variety including:

• Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander, Mustard Seeds, Fenugreek – the everyday essentials.

• Garam Masala – adds depth to curries.

• Sambar Masala & Rasam Powder – South Indian favourites.

• Curry Powders, Chaat Masala, Pav Bhaji Masala – for quick, flavourful meals.

• Tamarind Paste and Chutneys – bring tang and spice to vegan snacks.

These are the building blocks of authentic Indian flavours, all naturally vegan.

Vegan Dairy Alternatives & Ghee Substitutes

While traditional Indian cooking uses ghee, you can easily swap it out with:

• Coconut Oil or Sunflower Oil in curries.

• Plant-Based Butter or Margarine (available locally in Germany).

• Soy or Almond Milk for tea, kheer, or curries.

Many of Anant’s ingredients like coconut milk or nut-based pastes naturally fit into vegan cooking.
