While India has one of the biggest vegetarian population on the globe, most Indian meals in the UK are a risky choices for vegetarians and an almost impossible choice for vegans.

Vegans will find that the use of ghee butter, yoghurt and cream in mishes, including the side vegetables and naan, means that they are left with not much but a boiled rice and a Coke left to indulge in.

Vegetarians on the other hand, can go for the vegetable dishes, but should still proceed with caution.

The wide use of spice bases between many dishes in Indian cookery means that you can never be 100% that your saag aloo or vegetable biryani wasn’t made using non-vegetarian stick somewhere down the line.

Thai food on the other are a complete minefield for veggies as most, if not all bases, are usually made using a fish or oyster sauce base.

Not impossible choices, but certainly very tricky ones!
