And probably unless you and your ancestors grew up in the tropics your body can't process the protein that's in a carbohydrate or at least very little of. We are what our ancestors et. :-D And that said, Amma's folks were fishing people and probably Amma did not grow up on vegetarian food but then one has to give her credit in warning her followers about diving into vegetarianism. Then we have the reports that Maharishi's favorite dish was chicken tikka masala. It's one of my favorites too but my favorite Indian chicken dish is butter chicken, the kind made without tomatoes. This place has butter chicken to die for: http://www.swagat-indian.com/menu.html Though I haven't eaten there in ages since they raised their prices. This is the place that was always busy during lunch and I went there one weekend (also usually busy) after they hiked prices and there was only one other table of folks there. There's lots of offices in the area including tech ones and they can't afford a $11 lunch buffet.
