== Air catering ==

On demand most airlines offer Indian vegetarian dishes. Some regard these as dietary meals, some as religious meals. Details may vary.

Pre-ordering the [[International Air Transport Association code#IATA meal codes|IATA meal code]] ''AVML'' (Asian vegetarian meal) usually results in a meal without meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and eggs. Ingredients can be vegetables, legumes, fresh and dried fruit, dairy products, tofu, cereal, grains, vegetarian gelatine, spices and aromas associated with the Indian sub-continent. The meal can be spiced mildly to hot.

Another option is to pre-order the code ''VJML'' (Vegetarian [[Jain]] Meal). Compared to AVML only vegetables that grow ''above'' the ground are accepted, so onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, beets, radishes, mushrooms, ginger and turmeric are excluded. No dairy products are used.
