There are quick 10 minute vegetarian Indian recipes, and some great speedy lunch ideas, too.

There are also even some new Indian vegetarian dinner recipes you can prep in 10 minutes and let the stove or oven do the work.

Is traditional Indian food vegetarian?

The reality is there are more meat-eaters among the Indian population than there are pure vegetarians. Less than 40% of the population would call itself truly vegetarian.

Indian food has an image abroad as being the home of vegetarian food (possibly because of yoga and the like, I suspect). Compared with most other countries that number is still very high, however.

As a matter of fact, it is easier to know what the most popular non-vegetarian dish is, – Biryani! Every region has its own biryani – Awadhi, Lucknowi, Bengali, Hyderabadi, Thalassery, Dindukkal and so on.

What is the best or most popular vegetarian Indian dish?

Ooof! Very tricky question. It is impossible to say which is the best or most popular Indian vegetarian dish as there is no true general “Indian cuisine”.

Every region of India has a cuisine of its own, with its own flavors, produce and ways of cooking. In Tamil Nadu, idlis and dosas are popular, whereas in the Delhi / Punjab area, aloo parathas are the best. Dohkla in the Gujarat and in the North East they have momos – and these are just breakfast foods.

So, no way we can choose one! (And live to tell the tale!)
