A Variety of Meatless Monday Dishes from Different Regions of India

Adding some Indian dishes to your repertoire will provide you with some bold flavor options for your meatless menus. These meatless dishes will appeal to vegetarians and non-vegetarians,who want a variety of flavors and textures, while still being very budget-friendly. I've broken up Indian cuisine into 6 regional types: Bengali, Jewish Calcutta, Anglo Eurasian Christians of Calcutta, Parsi (Persian) Zoroastrians, Hindu & Muslim Kashmiri, and the Tibetan Buddhists of Darjeeling.

Indian cuisine includes an array of exotic spices and vegetables for ingredients, so I will be spending a bit of time describing and giving tips on the preparation of these items, including where they can be found.
