Although a predominantly vegetarian country, India enjoys a wealth of delicious non-vegetarian dishes, including specialties such .as Parsi Scrambled Eggs with Corn, Grilled Tandoori Chicken, Hyderabadi Chicken Curry, Kashmiri Slow-Cooked Spicy Lamb Curry, and Spicy Goan Shrimp Curry.
There are various degrees of vegetarianism in India, inspired mostly by religious and spiritual beliefs. There are sects who do not eat any non-vegetarian foods. There are vegetarians who won't eat meat, poultry, or fish but will eat eggs. There are some who won't eat meat or poultry, but will eat fish, believing it to be a harvest of the waters and even call it jal-tori, meaning water-squash. The Muslims will not eat pork and the Hindus stay away from beef.
An interesting point: Most Indian vegetarians consider dairy products acceptable for their diets because they believe milk does not destroy life, but sustains it--and throughout the country, milk is used in many dishes in various forms of yogurt, paneer cheese, milk, and cream.
Some Indians, however, will eat all types of non-vegetarian foods and this chapter offers a selection of main dishes featuring eggs, chicken, meat, and fish--some classic recipes known throughout the world, others popular within India, and yet others that are favorites in the United States. There are also some non-vegetarian recipes in other chapters--Starters and Snacks, Soups, and Salads--where they are grouped in subcategories identifying them as non-vegetarian.

I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Organizer and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.
My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.
I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!
Thank you!!
