Why Is Indian Food So Popular All Over The World?

[Urbanized Greyhound]

50% Veg. 50% Non-Veg (approx.)

Much much less veg people I think ...aside from just 2 states --Gujrat , Rajasthan --all other states are predominantly non-veg .

Add South States like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh. M.P., Mahrashtra also has large no. vegetarian people -- Overall It's 50-50......or may be 40:60 (Veg: Non-Veg) (But It's not for any specific region).

South Indian states like Kerala is well known for Beef & Pork delicacies . Living in Karnataka I must say , Chicken , Mutton , even Pork is very commonly eaten . Most of the Andra guys are about the same , and of course Hyderabad is quite famous for non-veg.

You may be right about M.P , dont know about Maharashtra .

However the entire eastern and north eastern belt, U.P , Bihar , Punjab , NCR , Kashmir have huge numbers of meat eaters .

I was just wondering.....excluding Muslims, what percentage of Indians are vegetarians?

Well, if you count non-vegetarians as those who "can eat" or "have eaten" or "dont mind eating" non-veg, then i can bet more than 70% non-muslims would fall in non-veg eating category, However, for majority of indians, including Indian muslims, the main daily diet is predominantly vegetarian.

We eat non-veg when we go out, on weekends & with alcohol. Those who take alcohol & are vegetarian usually encounter remarks like "abe, saale piita bhi kyo he? " (why the hell you drink when you dont eat non-veg).

Agree with you, Non-Veg is occasional food for Indian non Muslims... We eat nonveg once in a month, some time twice or thrice in a month... Its highly improbable that we can eat twice or thrice in a week... If I do so, I get stomach problem...


Majority of India is vegetarian , (If you include occasional meat eaters.. )

In India, vegetarianism is usually synonymous with lacto vegetarianism. Most restaurants in India clearly distinguish and market themselves as being either "Non-Vegetarian", "Vegetarian", or "Pure Vegetarian" (lacto vegetarian). Vegetarian restaurants abound, usually, many vegetarian (Shakahari: plant-eater, in Sanskrit) options are available. Animal based ingredients (other than milk and honey) such as lard, gelatin, and meat stock are not used in the traditional cuisine.

According to the 2006 Hindu-CNN-IBN State of the Nation Survey, 31% of Indians are vegetarians, while another 9% consumes eggs. Among the various communities, vegetarianism was most common among Jains, Brahmins at 55%, and less frequent among Muslims (3%) and residents of coastal states respectively. Other surveys cited by FAO and USDA estimate 20%–42% of the Indian population as being vegetarian. These surveys indicate that even Indians who do eat meat, do so infrequently, with less than 30% consuming it regularly, although the reasons are partially economical.

India has devised a system of marking edible products made from only vegetarian ingredients, with a green dot in a green square. A mark of a brown dot in a brown square conveys that some animal-based ingredients were used.

Recent growth in India's organized retail has also been hit by some controversy, because some vegetarians are demanding meatless supermarkets

There is no such thing as ''non veg'' ''Indian'' food

the cuisines of southern india and eastern india focus on non-veg food..
also rajputs gorge on mutton...they have their own special mutton dishes...
chettinad and connoor dishes from the south are all meat.
