It is common knowledge that Indian cuisine is as diverse as India itself. If the Bengalis take pride in their fish and sweets, the Marwari platter is renowned for its robust and spicy delights. The Jain community in India, especially those who are devout followers of their spiritual leader Mahavira, are largely vegetarian. Additionally, they also refrain from onions and garlic, as they are considered Ananthakay (bodies comprising infinite lives). To think of a typical ‘Indian meal’ without either is a task, but the wide and vivid Jain cuisine may make you think otherwise. Here are 6 Jain recipes you must try.

Simple kidney bean curry replete with desi masalas and tomato puree, paired with fragrant cumin-flavoyred rice. A classic vegetarian treat.
