I’m very happy to find your site as I am beginning to learn vegan baking and also love Indian food. I know many recipes work better with dairy, and I wonder if you have some advice about when butter/Earth Balance or dairy/soy/almond milk, etc., are or are not substitutes.
Thanks!

Thanks Katherine. Earth Balance can be substituted for butter in all recipes but I feel that the baked goods have a mild after taste when consumed on the day of baking, but tastes very normal from the next day onwards. Similarly soy milk and almond milk can be substituted for dairy milk in all recipes, but sometimes soy milk makes the end product dense and sticky. It depends on the brand also. Rice milk is also a very good alternative.

I tried your recipe but when I sent my son Zach to the store to buy butter he bought Cheez Whiz instead because he’s dislexic. I made the recipe with it and it turned out OK but it was a funny yellow color.

Wow! Ledasha you are really brave to proceed the recipe with Cheez Whiz!

I am great fan of your eggless recipes. Have tried ur recipes before and hv worked out too good.

In the lace cookies what can I replace corn syrup with? Dont hv it handy…

Thank you very much for trying the recipes Darshana. I have written down the substitute for corn syrup in the banana ice cream comments section. If you don’t want to make that, try substituting honey. But I’m not sure how it would affect the end result.

Madhuram, I am facing the challenge of cooking for some folks who don’t eat egg, and where do I turn up… right at your blog…
I don’t have pistachios at home at the moment, can I substitute with Almonds? Could you pls ping me when you jot down the answer for me? I am checking out a lot of recipes at your blog, so I might be all over…

Ooooh! the cookies look so good Madhu! I love the use fo pistachios in cookies. Yum!

Reg. your comment on patoli: Your version looks so good too. That way we can use less oil, right! Next time when I make this I shall follow your version and let you know. I just went thru Jai & Bee’s asparagus patoli too..it looked easy and delicious too. So I bookmarked it to try. Thanks Madhu!

Hey Madhuram, These look amazing. I wonder how they came out this thin (true to its name, lace!). I will give it a go when I got some pistachios at home.
I am so glad you liked the Oats dosai. Yay!
