This vegetarian lasagna is so, so tasty! It’s made with my magic onion masala sauce, wonderful Indian spices, veggies galore and all the cheese! You will LOVE this dish. Do you “Indian-ify” recipes too? It seems like us Indian folks (yeah, that sounds weird when I write that out… ) tend to make things our “own.” If you’ve ever been to a fast food place in India then you’ve seen it too. Go to McDonalds and you won’t find an American hamburger – you’ll find a McAloo Tikki or McPaneer. Go to a Pizza Hut and the pizza will taste like… Indian pizza. Chicken tikka pizza, anyone? Yes, please. That’s what I mean. We can give ANY dish a bit of Indian flair. We can turn an Italian dish like lasagna into an Indian-ish recipe. Isn’t that great? We are so creative. And yes, I just gave myself a big pat on the back. This recipe is part of the onion masala series that I’m sharing this month on my blog. Check out this post to learn all about it. The gist: I’m sharing recipes that call for exact amounts of onion masala to help make Indian cooking easier for you on a daily basis. This is obviously not a traditional recipe but it IS the kind of thing that Indian parents make at home. While I don’t think my mom made lasagna per say, I know she’d come up with all sorts of fusion recipes when I was a kid and now I do the same for my kiddo. This lasagna is a great way to hide veggies. You know, in mounds of delicious noodles and cheese. These are the veggies I used but you can use whatever you like: zucchini, red bell pepper, corn, peas, carrots: I realize that lasagna may seem like a complicated thing to make – especially if you’ve never made it before. But, trust me, it’s actually very easy. You just layer ingredients in a pan (this is the pan that I use) and then cook it in an Instant Pot. I have tested this recipe using regular lasagna noodles (no boil/oven-ready) AND gluten-free noodles (after all, all of my recipes on the blog are gluten-free). I tested this recipe using Dellalo gluten-free lasagna noodles and it was so delicious! If you try a different brand, please leave a comment and I will be sure to include the brand in my recipe notes to help others! My husband (Roby) and son (Tony) ate the regular lasagna and they loved it too! Roby tried both versions and said they were both great (though he will always choose gluten over gluten-free). I hope you love this vegetarian lasagna! Excuse me, I mean, Indian vegetable lasagna! Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
