Asian food is much more varied than many realise. It draws on local ingredients - notably coconut in the south, and fish on the coast. It need not be spicy or rich in fats and oils. Vegetarians are very well catered for as vegetarianism is an established part of some Hindu, Buddhist and Jain practice.
