South Indian vegan/vegetarian restaurants in LA
The provided sources do not list any Los Angeles South Indian restaurants that are explicitly vegan-friendly. Source [1] describes Udupi cuisine as strictly vegetarian, with dishes like idli, vada, dosa, sambar, and rasam, but does not specify which are typically vegan versus cooked with ghee. Source [2] lists a restaurant called India Sweets and Spices in Los Angeles, but its menu includes items like lassi (yogurt drink), paneer (cheese), and parathas served with yogurt, indicating it is not vegan-friendly. The menu does offer tofu dosa and plain dosa, which could be vegan if prepared without ghee, but the source does not confirm this. No other LA South Indian restaurants are mentioned in the sources. Therefore, it is not possible to answer which dishes are typically vegan versus ghee-cooked based solely on the provided citations.
