When I used to practice such things, I found that you can eat pretty darn
well cooking vegetarian Indian food. But that misses the point, of course.

A typical "fasting" meal from those days:

Onion-Broccoli Samosas
Mango/Papaya Chutney
Basmati Rice
Garlic Naan
Yogurt-Cucumber Raita
Mattar Paneer (homemade cheese with peas in a spicy tomato sauce)
Curried Hard-Boiled Eggs


Being a fast, of course, we wouldn't have any dessert. :-)
