Hi
I'm a scientist working for a large petrochemical company in SA. I'm a devoted Hindu (particularly Krsna conscious) and vegetarian. Into all things Indian (yoga, bhajans, food, music etc). Will be hoping to contribute a lot of my successful experimented recipes to this site. Vegetarian need not be boring or fattening. I hope more members take to the veggie recipes.
