I ordered the Indian Veg meal for my flights (strangely so did many non-Indians around me!), and thought it'd be useful to post what I had since special meals aren't described very often on Flyertalk. The meals were a bit too similar to each other, but I have to say that the quality was just outstanding -- better than recent 9W, SQ, or BA longhaul flights in J.
