Indian cuisine is ideal for vegetarians

Though Indian food offers a lot of delicious meat, chicken & fish curries and other preparations, its predominantly a vegetarian cuisine. Most Indian households, no matter what region of the country they come from will always have several vegetable & beans (dal) dishes as accompaniments to meat or fish.

So Indian food & the way of preparing food can be a very healthy and flavorful option for vegetarians. It can help make healthy food a lot more palatable and help you eat right without getting boring or mundane. Naturally, i don't mean the greasy laden-with-cream North Indian food most restaurants in this country have to offer.

If you're a novice to Indian cuisine but your tongue craves for the varied tastes it brings, try some of the recipes from my blog or from Madhur Jaffrey's Simple Indian Cooking - its a great starter book for the unitiated to Indian cooking.
