Yes, not only vegetarian and veganism, but also simply having vegetarian meals more often without giving up meat entirely. Sometimes I think folks “let the perfect be the enemy of the good” and insist on going cold turkey full vegan or bust and then busting out. They’d have much more success eating less meat by just trying some vegetarian Indian dishes and seeing how nice it can be to have a delicious, savoury, hearty, filling, and satisfying Indian meal, and even forget that they aren’t eating meat!

Some of my favourites include Rajma, dal makhani, a very spicy masala dosa with 3 chutneys and a bowl of sambar, and Lahore style chole.
