South Asians account for the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease worldwide. South Asian dietary practices and habits make up for a complex cuisine that varies from different regions and states throughout the Indian Sub-continent. The cuisine is also influenced by religion which dictates food restrictions, and whether the diet is vegetarian or non-vegetarian.
