Vegan Lunch: A Menu

Hi Everyone,
Next Sunday, I will be cooking lunch for my vegan friends. This should not be very difficult because a lot of Indian cooking is vegetarian. I just have to omit the dairy and the eggs, should not be difficult right?! ;)
It is amazing how often we use yogurt or butter / ghee in our cooking, but I can get soya yogurt and use vegetable oil or margerine.
This is my tentative menu. I am after suggestions and constructive critisism from by readers and fellow bloggers.

The theme is Asian cuisine, I am mixing and matching as I want to try new things for my blog - of course :)


Starters
Vegan Sushi (my entry for JFI: Rice),
The fillings I thought of are: cucumber / sweet peppers - other suggetions welcome.
Vegan Gyoza / pot stickers stuffed with shikate mushroom/spring onion mix
Pani puri with Kaala Chana chat

Main Courses
Lotus root / Potato Green Curry
Sweetcorn and red and green peppers in a Spicy Tomato Sauce

Rice - I am not sure whether plain or a shahi pilau type thing -advise please

Dessert
Vegan Lapsi with lots of nuts and dried fruit
