Vegetarian Chili Recipe (homemade)

Please do check out my new youtube cooking channel where i share simple, healthy short videos- Madhu’s Everyday Indian

Chili is a hearty stew generally made with meat, veggies and spices. This is a vegetarian version of the popular chili recipe. The meat is replaced by three different kind of beans. Generally dry beans are soaked overnight and cooked in the chili. This version takes more time, but the tastes amazing.

A quick version is using the canned beans. Rinse and drain the beans before using them. When the beans are cooked with the vegetable broth, veggies, cumin, jalapeno and other spices they taste amazing, but the process of making this chili is much faster.

For the vegan version of the vegetarian chili skip the sour cream and substitute the regular cheese with vegan cheese.
