Many people worry that they may not be getting enough protein while on a plant-based diet. The good news is that plants are not only rich sources of protein but also have a better quality of protein. A small serving of besan (25 gms) has the same amount of protein as an egg has (6gms) or a glass of milk has, maybe slightly more. There is a plethora of seeds, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils, and grains available out there that are rich in protein and have a high nutrition profile. The workshop will begin with creating awareness on a variety of plant-based protein options and busting some protein myths that encompass our minds time and again. We will learn how to use some basic Indian ingredients and give them a gourmet spin, to create high protein tasty dishes. They are sure to add variety to our regular mundane preparations.
I grew up in Ranchi with fewer toys and more experiences on our house farm. Enjoyed visiting local market and ancestral village and learned to appreciate resources and be grateful to what is on our plate as per season, region, and availability. After finishing schooling in Ranchi, I went on to study Architecture from IIT Kharagpur and later completed PGDM from IIM Kozhikode. I am a digital marketer, working with a leading Indian corporate, and living in Mumbai with husband and daughter

Excellent session. I like it for two reasons. First, it brings awareness about nutrition from local sources of food, which is lost in today's fast paced life. Second, the fact that even though there is some general knowhow on vegan food, one common misconception is that protein rich food is not nutritious. This session busts that myth by Himani's research and preparation. Kudos, and keep sharing more of your research.

This workshop has been very helpful in making a transition to a vegan lifestyle. The concept of an online cooking workshop was new to me. But Himani made the entire session very interactive and made sure we understood everything! The entire preparation and the cooking was done very methodically with a detailed recipe card. Thanks for all your efforts :)

The coverage of recipes in the first session was amazing. I am not into cooking as much as many others in my circle but I was glued to it all through and was also motivated to try many of those recipes! The session was easy to follow. No ingredient was hard to find. It was interesting how the common items around us could be used in so many ways ! Looking forward to more :)

It was a great workshop! The number of recipes that were covered just in a matter of 2 hours is truly commendable. What was truly valuable was the tips and tricks that were being shared through and through. All the recipes were so simple and delicious to make. I have already attempted 3 dishes from the recipe card and that says something! Thank you Himani for hosting it.
