A roundup of 25 popular and traditional Pakistani vegetarian recipes. With vegan options and substitutes. This list features lentils, beans, vegetarian curries, snacks, chutneys and more. From everyday weeknight meals to showstopper dishes for parties, there's a Pakistani vegetarian recipe for every occasion.

1. Lobia ka Salan (Black eyed peas curry)

A Pakistani vegan recipe, this is made with lobia (or black eyed peas) in an onion-tomato gravy base. It's comfort food in a bowl, and leftovers are excellent for an office lunch with rice or quinoa. Recipe contains directions for a stovetop as well as pressure cooker / Instant Pot version.

4. Kaali Daal (Black lentils)

One of my favourite daal recipes, this is a popular Pakistani dish made with black gram lentils. Can be eaten with rice or roti, but my favourite way is with rice with pickled onions or kachumber salad on teh side. Recipe contains stovetop as well as pressure cook options.

5. Zeera Aloo Sabzi (Potato curry with cumin seeds)

This is one of the quickest potato curry recipes ever - just 5 ingredients and ready in less than 30 minutes! It's what I make when I need dinner on the table quickly and I can't figure out what to cook.

6. Aloo ki Tarkari (Spicy & tart potato curry)

And we have another recipe featuring potato. In case it wasn't obvious we do love potatoes in Pakistani cuisine. And though there are multiple recipes featuring potatoes as the main ingredient, they all taste completely different! For instance this aloo ki tarkari is a spicy and tart - similar to the one that is available at the halwa puri stall for weekend breakfasts. It's super simple to make and tastes delicious with puri, paratha or kachori. All you need is some achaar on the side.

Note: This recipe is vegan.

This spicy and tart aloo ki tarkari is best enjoyed with paratha or kachori.

7. Bhindi ki Sabzi (Okra vegetable curry)

Another vegan recipe with okra (or bhindi as we call it in Urdu) as the star ingredient! This quick recipe is made with okra, sliced onions and spices finished off with lemon juice. Delicious with chapatti. In case you can't get fresh okra, just use frozen ones which are easily available at any Desi store.

Note: This recipe is vegan.

8. Aloo ki Tahari or Aloo Chawal (Spiced potato rice)

Similar to a pilaf, this one pot rice dish is super simple to whip up - perfect for weekly dinners that need to be ready in less than 30 minutes or when unexpected guests drop by.

Note: This recipe is vegan. Just serve with vegan yoghurt.

This spiced aloo tahari (potato pilaf) is Pakistani comfort food at its best.
