Indian Vegetarian Cookery

India has since time immemorial been the cradle of vegetarianism. Therefore it is not surprising to find in India some of the choicest and most delicious vegetable dishes. Furthermore India grows a profusion of vegetables which provide an ample incentive.

The Indian chefs, unlike their Western counterparts, have mastered the art of vegetarian cookery. Here we find the same vegetable cooked in many different ways to produce a variety of different flavours. Each dish is separate in texture, form and appearance and can truly be said to be individual. Even the humblest of vegetables can be coaxed into a presentable form and can take its place at the dinner table.
