Of all the different distinct cuisines, which do you find the most amenable to vegetarian cooking? Is it is Hindu-linked South Indian?

South Indian veg cookings is incredibly diverse, but you'll find wonderful dishes among North Indian vegetarians, as well as among the Indian Buddhists and Jains. Worth reading: Yamuna Devi's book Lord Krishna's Cuisine. Other ethnic cuisines: Ethiopian, Thai, Chinese and some Malaysian and VietnameseÑall offer wonderful vegetarian cooking. Enjoy!
