WHAT ARE INDIAN MASALAS FOR SEAFOOD, POULTRY, AND MEAT?

Introduction to Seafood, Poultry, and Meat Palate

India is commonly perceived as predominantly vegetarian and has the most vegetarians of any country in the world. However, there is also a large number of Indians who enjoy eating seafood, poultry, and Meat. The Sample Registration System Survey says that 71% of Indians are not 100% vegetarian and consume some form of Meat, fish, or poultry. The population of non-vegetarians is dense in the south and east India, whereas the population of vegetarians is most dense in the north and west of India. Much of the vegetarian vs. non-vegetarian population depends on the availability of livestock in the area. Like their vegetarian dishes, India also has a vast selection of masalas for Meat, poultry, and seafood dishes that add complex and unique flavors.
