FOOD OPTIONS FOR INDIAN STUDENTS IN THE UK

India is a country of 1.5 billion people who aspire to visit abroad for educational or recreational reasons. Indians love their food and eat all kinds of mainstream meat and fish except beef but some Indians have adopted vegetarianism and veganism. India is home to most vegetarians and vegans in the world, this raises the dilemma of having viable vegetarian food options when one goes abroad especially Indian students. The UK is one of the places in the world where vegetarian food options are seen in abundance.

In 2018, veganism was reported to soar when 3.5 million UK citizens turned vegan. Being a Vegan or a Vegetarian has many health benefits such as having low blood sugar, low risk of cancer, and other chronic diseases, better BMI (Body Mass Index), etc. Due to this, there was an upheaval of vegetarian and vegan food joints which has led to the opening of a whole new world of delicious, vegetables celebrating dishes appearing on menus of restaurants, pubs, and fast-food chains along with the traditional meat serving restaurants. Indian students visiting the UK can just walk into a supermarket and will be able to easily find pure vegetarian brands such as Quorn, Linda McCartney, Cauldron, Amy’s Kitchen etc. Some supermarkets and stores even have their own brands providing vegetarian ingredients. Ready-made meals can also be found but will lack wide variety.

If a student is interested to cook his/her own food in spite of having all these beautiful restaurants then the UK has numerous Vegan and Vegetarian markets such as Soho market, Veggie Pret, Young Vegan’s Pie shop, Vegan Express, etc.

The UK is no slouch when it comes to Indian food. Its citizens are obsessed with it in general and just can’t get enough of it. Several restaurants have been created in the UK which celebrates Indian food. Due to this, the restaurant owners have started hiring Indian chefs and these chefs get paid handsomely for their services. One would be shocked to know that the National dish of the UK is Chicken Tikka Masala as its aromatic spices and great creamy flavor bring happiness to anyone who eats it. Some other favorite Indian dishes in the UK are Butter Chicken, Malai kofta, Rogan Josh Chole Bhature, Chaat items, and the good old Saag Paneer.
