I’ve never considered myself all that much of a vegetarian. I like and frequently prefer dishes that include or are pretty much based on meat. However that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any good vegetarian recipes out there. One good source of examples of this is a blog that was recommended in a recent comment. “My Recipes” is a blog that is specializing in vegetarian recipes that the author has tried, some of which are traditional favorites such as a Beans curry that not only looks interesting, but is apparently used as a means to get kids to eat veggies.

Most of the recipes do use some ingredients such as “Urad dhall” and “Toor dhall” that aren’t exactly common to American cooks but after looking them up it turns out that they’re a sort of bean that’s at least similar to lentils.

I think it’s a good idea to reach out of one’s native food culture once in a while. You learn how much variety of tastes and cooking styles there are and just plain run into some really good food that way. Yeah, it’s true that there’s always things you’ll find that don’t agree with you but the good stuff is worth all of the others.
