Happy Birthday! Your trip to Paris sounds fantastic! We lived there over 5 years, where I was studying French cuisine. (We had intended to stay 6 weeks but it was too wonderful to leave...) I'm not a vegetarian but I tried to find as many vegetable dishes as I could. There was a great variety but still too much meat for my taste.
For your future travels, a vegan friend of mine who is also a blogger (https://www.glutenfreewithemily.com/) told me that she traveled some years back to Turkey and Israel, and found lots more vegan friendly and gluten free food in Israel than in Turkey (but she loved being in Turkey anyway).
Thank you for your always enticing recipes. For your chaat, where do you buy puffed quinoa? Also, isn't tamarind date chutney high in sugar, and shouldn't I try to make my own?
And I use a small amount of the chutney in the recipe, which is also offset by the amount of protein and fiber. But you could certainly make your own, healthier tamarind-date chutney!
This healthy bhelpuri sounds wonderful
Thanks Annada, lovely to hear from you!
Hi Vasudha, I had sent you a DM earlier this month about my newsletter called ChutneyLovers. Do check it out if you get a chance.

Thanks a lot!

Ah, how wonderful! Here is the puffed quinoa I usually buy - https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Crispy-Puffed-Quinoa-Healthy/dp/B089DT47Y5
