India is predominantly a vegetarian country, with most local cuisines incorporating a lot of healthy vegetables into their dishes.

Nevertheless, the basic premise remains — it should be healthy and light.

Here are some recipes that give an interesting twist to your regular vegetarian fare, and follow most of the rules around ‘fasting’ foods.
