One of the many, many side-effects of reading voraciously is to read about various iconic foods. Goulash is so emblematic of Hungary, but I have never tried it because of the meat component. Now that I have your recipe, I will try this version.
Thank you! Hope you like it.
I'm always in awe of your pictures, simply adore them! This looks so good, makes me want to try it asap!
Thank you Freda!
I have never heard of this recipe, thankyou for the new learning
Goulash dish is new to me..the name of the dish itself sounds interesting & delicious..ahh clicks are just awesome:-)
Thanks Jolly!
I have never had the opportunity to try a goulash before. Your easy and healthy recipe with wholesome ingredients looks like a good place to start 🙂 🙂 Awesome share!
That looks like a party of flavours and riot of colours in a bowl! How I would love to dig in straight away! Beautiful clicks, Jagruti 😍
Gorgeous images and kudos for coming back home and taking that challenge of converting the dish into vegetarian with tofu and the paprika. Travels and trysts with locals always give us back something to learn and usually inspire us to blog something super! Clearly in your case, with so many vegetables added in that silky tomato broth, this must have tasted spectacular with the crusty bread.
Oh my gosh….Look at the riot of colours…Loving all the flavours going on in the dish….You have captured the dish so well that it's tempting me to dive into that bowl…Great share!!
I am just in love with the photograph <3 So eye-catching !!
And the vegan version looks so interesting, will surely try once 🙂
What a wonderful medley of colors…looks so delish. I want to grab that bowl and finish myself with that bread
OOOOOOOO! That happens to be the shape of my mouth! Yes its wide open unfortunately I cannot get any of this yum in my mouth via the screen. Will try making this in the rains. Just right when the veggies look so delicious and you are home out off the drenching that happens to be Goan rains!
Seems like a lot of prep but I am sure it tasted awesome. Lovely pictures 😚
My family is a huge fan of chunky veg soups or stews and they love tofu too, so this is a win win for me. I am so going to try this hearty and comforting Hungarian Goulash real soon. Love the beautiful pictures Jagruti, as always they kind of steal my heart.
I love the flavours in a goulash and think it's great that you've created a vegan version. The pictures are just beautiful too!
This goulash looks wonderful! I wish I had a bowl right now!
this looks lovely and comforting! also so glad you created a veg version! i have never had it because it usually has meats I don't eat!
Gorgeous photos! This goulash so hearty and delicious!
This is great, I totally agree with you, Goulash is perfect any time of year. With the tofu you don't get that heaviness that you do with beef. Brilliant!
I'm glad I started food blog as I get to know all these awesome dishes.these are definitely have to be in my to do list…those pictures look like an art
I haven't explored much vegetarian options from world cuisine. this one looks seriously tempting!
This is just mind blowing post Jagruti. The pics are so tempting that i am desperate to try this soon. Bookmarking this wonderful recipe.
