Thanks in part to the country's great religious and ethnic diversity, Indian cuisine is among the most diverse cuisines in the world. Because many Hindus in particular do not eat meat at all, the legume occupies an important place in Indian cuisine. This delicious red lentil soup is a good example of that. The exotic spices make for a delicious spicy soup as well as a wonderful smell in the house!
