Gluten Free Veg Indian Recipes

What is Gluten?

Gluten - a protein found in wheat, semolina (rava) and its products. This condition, called gluten-sensitivity, requires one to eat foods without this particular protein. Many Indians cannot think of a meal without wheat and its by-products, but it is possible - and very tastily too!

It is a must to adapt to such recipes, because those who are gluten-intolerant need to nevertheless consume balanced meals. This section will help you achieve just that, with its vast range of recipes, which span all age groups and preferences. These delicious gluten free breakfast, gluten free Indian snacks, gluten free rotis and gluten free parathas, gluten free Indian desserts and some special, gluten free kids-friendly Indian recipes, will show you that gluten-free meals can be quite peppy too! And, all it takes to make these ever-popular favourites gluten-free are slight changes in the ingredients and cooking methods!

Gluten Free Indian Breakfast Recipes

Jowar Palak appe, is one such example which makes use of only jowar flour, spinach and a handful of spices. Just mix them, add water and pour the batter into apple mound. Then 5 minutes is the only wait time before you can cook and serve them.

Upma is a favourite breakfast fare in many parts of India. Being made with semolina, it doesn’t form a part of a gluten free diet. You can it in the form of Quinoa Upma, which has a similar texture and taste.

There are other classic South Indian options to relish as well. 

1. Brown Rice Dosa to 

2. Poha Dosa  with Coconut Chutney. 

Gluten Free Indian Roti Recipes

Rotis are indefinitety the staple food of India. And wheat flour rotis are made in most households daily. However, if you check the list, wheat flour, maida, semolina and barley flour are only gluten rich flours which you have to avoid. All the other flours like bajra flour, jowar flour, ragi flour, arrowroot flour, buckwheat flour, rajgira flour etc. all can be stored in your pantry and explored to make a variety of dishes.

Bajra Cauliflower Roti which is perked with spring onions, garlic and ginger-green chilli paste is a delight in every bite. Serve it with a sabzi or a bowl of curd.

Mouth-wateringly tasty Suva Buckwheat Rotis flavoured with aromatic dill leaves, this recipe is a delightful treat for your palate. Here we have used a combination of buckwheat and jowar flour. Remember to serve them immediately, else they may turn dry.

You can make Karnataka’s famous Akki Roti, which is made with rice flour and further made aromatic and flavoursome with the use of onions, carrot, coconut, garlic, ginger, green chillies and coriander. This roti has a very soft dough, which isn’t rolled but patted directly on the tava and cooked.

Gluten Free Indian Paratha Recipes

Similarly, parathas are also not tricky. With the use of same gluten free flours you can make explore making all in one paratha to even stuffed paratha.

Spice the bland jowar flour correctly and present it in the form of Cabbage Jowar Paratha.  Just mix all together and make into an awesome paratha. The secret to getting a perfectly textured paratha is to cook it well. Cook them on a slow to medium flame till they show unifom golden brown spots on both sides.

On days you want to enjoy a heavy meal in itself, go in for Stuffed Buckwheat Paratha. It is made with buckwheat and rice flour and stuffed with corn, capsicum, tomatoes and cheese. This interesting variation is sure to win hearts.

As an interesting option you can serve Rajgira Paratha Canape. This gluten free paratha is exciting and unique, and not very difficult to prepare, so you can confidently go ahead and try it for any meal of the day. Ensure to roll the canapes between 2 sheets of plastic.

Indian Gluten Free Kids Recipes

Cooking a gluten free fare is challenging and doing so for a kid is testing your true culinary skills. By now you must have definitely mastered making gluten free rotis and parathas, dig into this section to find more interesting recipes to please kids who cannot tolerate gluten.

All kids love pizzas! But the pizzas base being made with maida or durum wheat (both by products of wheat), it is not suggested as a gluten free fare. Here we present a gluten free pizza – Bhakhri Pizza. The base is made with jowar flour and bajra flour and cooked till crisp. Make your own pizza sauce to top on this healthy base, garnish with cheese and enjoy it!

Secondly what features on their list is pasta. Well, all you have to do is buy the gluten free pasta available in the market and mix and match with the veggies and sauce of your kid’s choice. A simple Gluten Free Pasta in Tomato Sauce is what you can surely try at home.

Pasta can also be presented in the form of Dry Pasta Snack. We have used spiral shaped pasta but you can experiment with different pasta shapes and colours, taking care not to over-boil the pasta to prevent breakage while frying. The dried mixed herbs in which the fried pasta is tossed bags the credit here.

Sev Puri is another snack which all of us love to indulge into. Again, the puris being made with maida or wheat flour is a disappointment for kids. We have made the puris with maize flour and also given a twist to the traditional recipe by topping with a corn mixture and tomato chutney. Make Gluten Free Corn Sev Puri for kid’s birthday party and you are sure to get an applause.

Gluten Free Indian Mithai / Dessert Recipes

Atta ladoo, rava ladoo, roti ladoo and atte ka sheera are some mouth-watering mithais which are difficult to resist. But Indian cuisine is quite vast. There is a lot more to explore.

You can try Besan Ladoo to Peanut Ladoo. Ready in 15 minutes, these can be carried to work or enjoyed as an after-dinner treat. The rich, nutty flavour of coarsely crushed peanuts sweetened with sugar is accentuated by the aroma of ghee and the mild hints of cardamom in this Indian sweet.

We are sure you must have yearned for cakes. While gluten free pastas are available, gluten free cakes aren’t so common. You can try our Gluten Free Chocolate Sponge Cake made with jowar flour. Though the recipe makes use of sugar substitute, you can make it with sugar. Enjoy it with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream.

With striking similarities in flavour and colour, powdered cashewnuts and grated coconut get along very well in this exciting Kaju Kopra Sheera. You will surely not miss the attae ka sheera.

You can also try Jowar Banana Sheera. With young kids who have started weaning, love to lick on this smooth sweet. Bananas add extra flavour, compensating for the bland taste of the jowar flour.

Here are some other gluten free halwas for you to try.

1.  Our gajar ka halwa with khoya is a Punjabi carrot halwa recipe. Many a shortcut there might be, but sometimes the traditional method of making a mithai yields the richest taste! This authentic recipe of authentic gajar ka halwa proves that!

2. Anjeer Halwa : Richness personified, the Anjeer Halwa is a really striking dessert made of puréed figs, powdered almonds and milk powdered, cooked with ghee and a little bit of sugar to add to the natural sweetness of figs.

3. Doodhi Halwa : A traditional mithai that everybody has a reason to like—some for the taste, some for the goodness of doodhi and milk, and some for the warm feeling it instils on a rainy day!

Gluten Free Rotis



Gluten Free Rotis An Indian meal never seems complete without rotis, so it is natural for gluten-intolerant folks to be at a loss what to substitute it with! Not to worry, you can still have your share of satiating and delicious rotis without using wheat flour. Each gluten-free roti in this section is designed in a beautiful way to ensure that it is finger-licking tasty! Combine flours like bajra, jowar or ragi with simple spices or veggies like mooli, methi or garlic, and watch (oh, taste) the magic unfurl!

11 Gluten Free Indian Flours

1. Jowar Flour (Sorghum/White Millet Flour): This flour is made from whole dry jowar and is creamy white or yellow in colour. Being low in fat and high in protein, it provides with a healthy gluten free alternative.
It is popularly used in some Maharashtrian delicacies and in many Gujarati snacks too. Pancakes or dosas can be made crispy by adding a little jowar flour to the dosa batter. Jowar flour has also gained popularity in gluten free baking. It is difficult to make dough from it due to it not being so elastic; it is mostly rolled between two sheets of plastic or shaped by hand.

2.Ragi / Nachni Flour (Finger millet / Red Millet Flour): The flour from these tiny red grains is reddish brown in colour. It has a slightly bland flavour and a nutty aroma. It has a high nutritional content, especially calcium, iron and protein. It is used widely in Karnataka, the most popular preparation being Ragi Mudde. It is also used to prepare Indian breads like bhakri, pancakes, Ragi roti and dosas.

3.Bajra Flour (Pearl Millet Flour/Black millet flour): Bajra flour is made from the small round grains of black millet. Bajra flour is greyish in colour and has a slightly nutty flavour. It is most commonly used in winters. It is known to be a multi-nutrient as it is rich in protein, iron, calcium, folic acid, magnesium and zinc. Being highly alkaline in nature, it is known to be good for those who have acidity problems. We suggest you try Stuffed Bajra Roti and Bajra Aloo Roti.
It is mixed with other flours to make some Indian breads like bhakri, theplas etc. One can innovate and add a variety of fillings to make stuffed bajra parathas.

4.Rajgira flour (Amaranth/Ramadana flour): It is obtained from Rajgira /Ramadana which is the seed of the Amaranth plant. It is a very rich source of protein, calcium and iron.It is usually used during fasts to prepare ladoos, puris, theplas etc.

5.Soya Flour: Soya flour is pale yellow coloured flour and is made from whole soyabeans that have been roasted and ground. It has a peculiar nutty flavour and odour which is rare in other flours. It is high in protein, fibre, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B and zinc. It is extremely useful to build strong bones and enhance iron levels in the body.

6.Buckwheat (Kuttu) flour: It is called "Kutti-no daro" in Gujarati and "kutto" in most other Indian languages. It is a fine powder with a slightly sour flavor and is popularly used during the nine day Navratri fast to prepare dhoklas, pancakes, puris etc. Try Suva Buckwheat Roti.
Buckwheat is rich in protein and calcium which is needed to build strong bones. It is rich in fibre and has the highest amount of iron amongst the flours.

7.Rice flour /Brown Rice flour: Rice flour / brown rice flour is the finely ground powder of de-husked rice. Brown rice is also called “unpolished rice” and is healthier than white rice flour because of its high fibre content. We suggest the popular Mahrashtrian bread called Chawal Bhakri had with Red Chilli Thecha.
Though white rice is moderately high in protein, it is also rich in carbohydrate content (starch). Therefore, it is advisable to restrict its quantity and have it in combination with vegetables. It is an essential part of south Indian cuisine and is used to make dosas, upma and many savoury and sweet snacks.

8.Besan (Bengal gram flour): Bengal gram flour is made from 100% pure chana dal and is rich in protein, carbohydrates, calcium, folic acid, zinc and potassium.
It is most commonly used for preparing many savoury and sweet snacks; onion bhaji, traditional potato and vegetable pakodas being the most popular ones. Coarsely ground besan is also used in the preparation of some famous Indian sweets like mohanthaal, mysore pak, laddoos etc.

9.Maize flour (Makai ka atta): Maize flour is made from dried corn and is milled from the whole corn kernels. It is yellow, coarse and odourless flour with a slightly sweet flavour. Try the Makai Methi Roti.
In India, it is used to prepare snacks like dhoklas, pancakes etc. Mexican cuisine has an array of dishes like tortillas, tacos, nachos where maize flour is the main ingredient.

10.Cornflour: Cornflour is derived from the starch of the corn kernels. It is white in colour and has a soft and fine texture. It is odourless and has a mild taste. Cornflour is known for its lump free thickening properties since it blends easily when combined with a cold liquid, it eliminates the hazards of lump forming.
It is used to prepare pancakes, crepes etc. and as a binding agent in various snack preparations like tikkis etc. In Chinese cuisine, it is extensively used as a thickening agent in soups, sauces and gravies.

11.Arrowroot flour: It is ground from the dried roots of the Marantha plant (also called Paniphal, Tikora), and is very useful as a thickener. This fine whitish flour is tasteless, and becomes clear when it is cooked, which makes it ideal for thickening sauces. It is high in fibre and is easily digestible. It is also rich in calcium and potassium.
This is used during fasts. It is also used as a thickener for clear fruit sauces, gravies, soups etc. Due to its binding properties, it finds use in baking too.

Gluten Free Indian Breakfast

Gluten Free Indian Veg Breakfast

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Intolerance to this protein by an individual is termed as gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity. Currently there is no cure for this condition. The only thing to be followed is avoid these foods which you are intolerant to. However some people who have wheat as their staple food, find it difficult to do so. This section is specially dedicated to ‘cooking without wheat and its products’. 

There are many other grains and their flours available which can be explored. Have a look at the variety of delicacies made using these flours and you are sure to overcome the myth that cooking gluten free is challenging. You can try a variety of flours like jowar flour, nachni flour, soya flour, rice flour, buckwheat flour, bajra flour, rajgira flour, besan as well as brown rice flour. All you need to eliminate from your pantry is wheat flour, rye, barley, semolina (rava), maida, pastas and noodles made with semolina and durum wheat. Oats is another ingredient which is best avoided by gluten intolerant individuals. 

Quick Indian Gluten Free Breakfast

Every kitchen is busy in the morning. You have to accommodate cooking breakfast as well take away tiffins for lunch. Given this situation, breakfast being quick and easy is a blessing. And if the recipe is made with just a few easily available ingredients, then it’s like icing on the cake. We have many such options.

 Jowar Palak appe, is one such example which makes use of only jowar flour, spinach and a handful of spices. Just mix them, add water and pour the batter into apple mound. Then 5 minutes is the only wait time before you can cook and serve them.

Explore some delicacies with buckwheat flour too. Locally termed as ‘kutto’ or kutti no daro’, this is one of the healthiest flour too. It comprises of all the amino acids thus a complete protein grain. You can use it in its grain form to make Buckwheat Pancakes and grind it to make its flour and make Buckwheat Dhokla. 

A few other quick gluten free breakfast options are Quick Mini Soya Dosa and Quick Rice Panki.

South Indian Gluten Free Breakfast

There are so many options for Gluten free breakfast. From the basic Idli to Rasam Idli to Idli curry are there to be had with Gluten free Tomato Chutney. Then there are a large collection of Dosas to have as they are made up of rice and dal. There is the classic Dosa to healthy Brown Rice Dosa to Poha Dosa to be had with Coconut Chutney. On weekends when you have extra time on try a slightly elaborate recipe like Mysore Masala Dosa with Green Chutney. 

Crunchy Gluten Free Indian Breakfast

Who doesn’t like crunchy snacks? Crunchy crispy savouries flavoured with a variety of spices can be an exciting experience for anyone. You can serve homemade gluten free snacks like chakli, khakhra, puris etc. with a hot cup of Masala Chai. Since kids love these kind of crunchy snacks, these can be on-the-go breakfast for them. You can try bajra methi khakhra, which has the goodness of iron and nachni soya puri, which provides good amounts of calcium for your bones. 

Chakli is another jar snack which we all love. Try a non-wheat version like Rice flour chakli. While this is deep-fried, if you wish you can also a baked version of gluten free chakli like Nutritious Chakli. This is made by combining 3 gluten free flours – ragi flour, soya flour and nachni flour.

Baking instead of deep-frying the puris helps reduce the calorie count. Store it in an air-tight container and take along to office, school or even on a journey.

Gluten Free Bread

Bread is one food which gluten intolerant individuals miss the most. But do not despair. Today there are many varieties of bread which can be made without maida. Since even a restricted ingredient in small quantity can be quite irritating for gluten sensitive people, we highly recommend that you bake your own bread and sit back and enjoy it. You need to definitely invest in a good oven. 

Almond Flax Bread with Eggs is one gluten free option for you to try your hand at. This is a really unique snack, which tastes great and is a chock-full of good health too. Almonds and eggs both are a very good dose of protein which is required by every cell of our body for its health, maintenance and repair. 

Another way to make bread is by using a combination of rice flour and cornflour. Yes, you guessed it right.. It’s the Rice flour Bread. This bread is dense and not airy like wheat loaves, but it definitely has an interesting taste and texture that everyone will enjoy, especially when relished fresh on the day it is made.

And if you want to go healthy then add healthy grains like buckwheat and quinoa to these flour and make something unique like Buckwheat and Quinoa Bread. This multi-grain bread with a nice crust and dense mealy texture is wonderful to bite into. It lasts in the fridge in an airtight container for 4 days.

It is amazing how correct ingredients merely mixed together can create such a wholesome and tongue-tingling effect! Indeed, the perfectly balanced textures and exciting flavours can please the most fussiest person. Try the breakfast options from this section on gluten free breakfast ideas and begin your day with a tension-free mind of no allergy effect on your body.

Take a deep bowl and put the chopped methi leaves into it. Sprinkle a little salt over the methi leaves and mix well. Keep this aside for 15 minutes. As fenugreek is a very bitter vegetable, adding salt over it removes the bitterness in the form of water. This makes the fenugreek much less bitter in the aloo methi sabzi. 2. Cooking the potatoes for long makes them a little crisp and gives them an appetising brownish colour. It also allows the potatoes to imbibe the flavours of the garlic, green chillies and ginger really well in aloo methi. We often make aloo methi sabzi with baby potatoes at home, however our recipe uses regular potatoes. Aside from aloo methi try other sabzi combos with methi like Methi Palak Paneer Subzi, Methi Papad and Methi Mutter Pasanda.

bajra roti recipe | bajre ki roti | healthy pearl millet roti | Rajasthani bajra roti | Sajje Roti | with amazing 16 photos Though bajra is grown only in certain parts of Rajasthan, bajra rotis are relished all over the state. Thickly rolled bajra rotis are cooked over "kanda" (cow dung cakes) in the villages. That is the authentic way of preparing them because it imparts a smoked flavour to the rotis. We have made this simple recipe of Bajra roti by kneading bajra flour with little whole wheat flour together with little salt. Whole wheat flour makes rolling and binding bajre ki roti easier. Knead the dough with warm water as the dough become pliable and easy to knead and roll. This helps in getting pearl millet roti a soft texture. The Rajasthani bajra roti are thickly rolled, cooked on a tava and then roast over open flame till brown spots appear. Traditionally white butter also known as makhan is smeared on it or if that is not available you can use ghee. Bajra Roti is a traditional Indian flatbread made with bajra or black pearl millet flour making it extremely nutritious. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. If you are looking for a gluten free option you can replace the whole wheat flour and only knead bajra flour alone to make bajre ki roti . I remember, my grandmother would roll the roti using her palm and cook it on a earthen clay tava on a chulha, which would give bajra roti a smoky flavor. I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect Rajasthani bajra roti. 1. To make Bajre ki roti, take a portion of the dough and shape into a round ball.
