Jain food at P&D

P&D Indian Street Food is 100% vegetarian and has cooked Jain versions of its street food since the first Lowell restaurant opened in 2014. Every dish listed below can be ordered Jain at all three restaurants: Lowell, Quincy and Woburn, Massachusetts. Pick "Jain" as the preparation when you add the dish to your order; it prints on the WhatsApp ticket the kitchen reads.

What Jain means here

In our kitchen "Jain" means no potato, no onion, no garlic and no other root vegetables such as carrot, beetroot, radish or ginger paste. Where a recipe normally leans on potato, we substitute: sprouted moong in pani puri, raw banana in pav bhaji, extra capsicum and cheese in the Bombay grill. Chutneys for Jain orders are made without garlic. Nothing on this page contains egg, and nothing anywhere on our menu contains meat, fish or gelatin.

How it is prepared

Jain orders are cooked in a dedicated pan on request, with fresh oil, so they do not pick up onion or garlic from the regular batch. Fried snacks such as khaman, khandvi and methi gota are already Jain as cooked. If you are ordering for a group with mixed needs, write "Jain for N people" in your order note or WhatsApp message and the kitchen will keep those portions separate.

Where to order Jain food

Questions we get about Jain orders

Is the pani puri Jain?

Yes. Order it with the Jain preparation and the potato filling is replaced with sprouted moong; the pani never contains onion or garlic.

Which dishes are already Jain without changes?

Khaman dhokla, khandvi, methi gota, fafda jalebi, dahi vada, the sweets and most drinks are Jain as cooked. Dishes that need the Jain preparation say so on their page.

Do you use ginger or asafoetida (hing)?

Ginger paste is left out of Jain orders. We use compounded hing, which is on a wheat base; tell us if you need it left out and we will.

Can I get a Jain thali?

The Gujarati thali is served at Lowell on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 3 PM and can be made Jain; order it with the Jain preparation.

Is the Jain version more expensive?

No. Jain and Swaminarayan preparations cost the same as the regular dish.
