   @alex I don't think Indians traditionally were vegan. The hallmark of Indian cuisine isn't just spices. It's the use of fats. Notably... animal based fats like ghee. Ghee has a high-smoke point that most pre-industrial plant-based fats can't reach. It also contributes a wonderful mouthfeel and flavour. Not to mention the unique nutritional benefit of animal based fats.
   
   Dairy has always been an essential component of Indian cuisine.

     @AWIVR @PonyPanda @alex the Cyprian version, I think you meant. There's distinct differences between levantine and Mediterranean cuisine.

     @PonyPanda @alex ghee and rice bran oil are essential. Ghee for clarifying, coating a pan or rubbing down a kebab even in middle eastern cuisine. Ghee and suet. Rice bran for same reason, high smoke point when deep frying.

     @thebitchisback @AWIVR @alex I really don't like Coles marinades. I don't know what it is... the sliminess or something. The meat never cooks properly.
