How can I encourage my boyfriend to try some vegetarian dishes?

1 Answer

Answer :

Make an Indian dish or two if he likes it. Buy or cook a bread (naan or roti), make rice, and make a vegetatian dish, maybe paneer (a cheese) with spinach and mushrooms, or dal (lentils). You could always make a meat dish for a side dish, butter chicken is a great accompanyment. Alternatively, go to an Indian buffet. I find the cuisine is so delicious and it makes me want to try other cuisine’s vegetarian items, such as falafel shawarma.
