Priya Vijan, the only Plant-based & Vegan chef in MasterChef India 2023, reflects on her journey from eating paranthas soaked in butter to completely switching to a plant-based diet. A 21-day experiment of consuming no dairy, changed her life. In 2019, Priya enrolled in a nutrition course and this is where she understood the importance of a plant-based diet and the negative impacts of animal products, dairy in particular. She did a 21-Day experiment of consuming zero dairy and realised she did not need to take her medicines for allergies & migraine as frequently as before. She went back to consuming dairy just to see the difference and the frequency of medicines went up again! Clearly, dairy did not agree with her stomach. The entire transition period of going off dairy took her six months. Born into a Punjabi household in Kashmirs' Baramulla, it wasn't easy for her, but the results of her experiment were surprising. “By the end of the per
