Well Air India is cooking what Indians know best, rather than trying to conform to some other culture's menu, so it better taste good innit. This week I've eaten (and am eating) home-cooked dhal (my second pan already), channa, panir. Veggie food. Cos I feel like it. What Foxy said about veggie food though ! Friday will be a big fat donor though. You see - 'balanced' diet.. James most of India is veggie, Kerala is a tiny bit. They're not veggie necessarily due to poverty (though that can be a reason), there are various 'levels' of Hinduism I believe (an expert can be specific here), some of which advocate no meat and other items - it's about levels of 'purity' (of body and therefore mind) I think. I've been pure all week and will be filthy all weekend. Balance. ETA: But I wouldn't wanna ram it down y'all throats or anything (unless you're over for dinner).
