Thinking about junk and comfort food, cheese is the first thing that comes to our mind. Melted cheese oozing out of the pizza pockets and sandwiches is everything we crave. But do you know what, comfort food need not necessarily be non-vegetarian or oozing out cheese? There are a lot of yummy vegetarian dishes that are made without cheese and are perfect for satiating your hunger pangs!
