New to Urban Farmie? Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Shruthi — a lifelong vegetarian, global foodie, and the recipe developer behind Urban Farmie. I help busy home cooks like yourself bring bold, globally inspired vegetarian meals to their table — without spending hours in the kitchen or searching five stores for ingredients.
If you’ve ever thought vegetarian food was bland, boring, or way too complicated… this site is here to prove otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all! Many of my readers are just looking to eat more veggies, save money, or find flavorful meatless options. Even my carnivorous husband loves these dishes.
Most are naturally vegan or can be adapted easily. I always include swaps when possible.
I am vegetarian, but these recipes are focused on balance and flavor — not diet labels. I believe in real food, made with joy.
