SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 4, 2025 – Indian food is beloved for its bold spices, warm comfort, and vibrant aromas—but what if you could enjoy all of that without the meat? Swiss brand Planted has created a mouthwatering twist on Indian kebabs that’s 100% plant-based, easy to prepare, and bursting with flavor. Their new recipe for Indian kebab skewers with naan proves you don’t need meat to create soul-satisfying meals.
Planted’s approach offers more than just a vegan alternative—it’s an everyday indulgence that feels exotic, comforting, and effortless all at once. Whether you’re prepping for a cozy night in, impressing friends with your spice game, or simply trying to eat more sustainably, this dish hits all the right notes.
A Fresh Spin on a Traditional Favorite
The heart of this recipe is planted.kebab, a marinated plant-based meat alternative that mimics the texture and richness of traditional kebab. Seasoned with a blend of lemon, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, the kebab pieces are grilled to crispy perfection and served with warm, pillowy naan.
It’s the kind of dish that feels special but comes together in under 30 minutes—ideal for weeknights or spontaneous dinners.
Why This Plant-Based Twist Works
While many Indian classics lean heavily on meat and dairy, Planted shows that a fully vegan version can still deliver:
- Rich flavor: The spices do the heavy lifting here. Garam masala, cumin, and coriander infuse the dish with warmth and complexity.
- Crispy texture: Grilling the skewers adds that irresistible charred edge.
- Refreshing balance: A sprinkle of fresh mint cuts through the richness and adds a cooling contrast.
- Quick prep: The marinade takes just minutes to whip up, and the rest is just grilling and plating.
How to Use It in Real Life
You don’t need to be a pro in the kitchen to pull this off. This recipe is designed for anyone who wants to eat well without fuss:
- Great for meal prep: Make extra and enjoy cold the next day with salad.
- Perfect for BBQs: Toss these skewers on the grill alongside other summer hits.
- Ideal for weeknight dinners: Pair with store-bought naan and a simple cucumber salad for a no-stress feast.
