11 Vegetarian Recipes That Leave You Wanting More | Popular Vegetarian Recipes

Vegetarian Recipes- Till a few years ago, if you flipped through the vegetarian section of a food menu, you were bound to be disappointed. It lacked creativity, spunk and imagination. Your options were restricted to a sorry range of greasy junk food, the Indian curry or Chindian takeaway and the idea of healthy and fine vegetarian food was non-existent.

But gradually the tables turned. Partly due to health reasons but mostly because great chefs started to approach veggies in a way they'd approach a rack of lamb. Taking on the culinary challenge, they learnt how to use both ordinary and extraordinary vegetables, new cooking techniques and bold flavours. The result was fresh, bright and nothing short of magical. For most of us, it was a revelation.
 

Here are some of the most amazing vegetarian recipes from our archives. Watch how these 11 veggies take on classic meat based dishes and live up to the challenge.
