Jain food is exclusively vegetarian food and also offers a ton of nutrition. Jain delicacies can be combined with several cuisines. Moreover, they often take their place in many households as side dishes. We have mentioned some of the scrumptious authentic Jain recipes to try.

1.      Tangy tomato soup

Thick, velvety and creamy tomato sauce creates a magical tangy flavour to tickle your palates. Cooked without onion and garlic, this consistency and fresh aroma of tomato soup have you at the very first bite. For piquancy, let the ingredients cook slowly on a medium flame for a little longer. The enhanced sharpness will be worth the wait.

2.      All-time snack: baked chakli

Chai time demands chakli. This spiral-shaped crispy good is savoured by non-Jain people as well. Baked chakli is a bit different from a normal chakli, which is deep-fried. Whereas, Jain chakli is baked, as the name speaks for itself. Did you know that there is steamed chakli too? Exciting, isn’t it? This tastes amazing.

3.      Jain Pav Bhaji

Instead of mashed potatoes, this Jain delicacy is created with raw bananas. The difference is actually really hard to spot. Jain bhaji tastes just like a normal bhaji and that too without the additional onion and garlic taste.

4.      Cottage cheese and apple sandwich

Quite rich in essential nutrients, paneer, and apples seem to fulfil your nutrition requirement for the day. With finely chopped or crumbled cottage cheese added with juicy apple and sandwiched in the middle of two slices of bread, this delicacy taste heaven. You can make your breakfast not-so-boring by opting for this recipe. For a more flavoursome meal, deep-fried paneer and apple with loaded melt-in-mouth cheese tend to give it a brilliant aroma. You can finally grill the sandwich after putting in all the stuffing to this healthy item.

5.      Creamy dal makhani

This thick, creamy and softly-spiced dish is cooked with loads of onion, ginger, and garlic. But Jain dal makhani does not contain the two main ingredients. But the special recipe adds the required spices, making it even yummier and makes you ask for more.
