Traditionally Indians are not supposed to eat meat. But now many Indians do but do not eat beef (hindus) and pork (Muslims). However, there are some people who are still vegetarian especially those from Gujarat.

Hindus mostly eat fish, eggs, rice and some meat like pork and bacon etc. But not beef!

they don't really eat bacon because they're vegeterains. n ot sure about the fish though.

they don't eat garlic, mushrooms or tea and cofee.

The first answer is correct, though the answerer has forgotten cereals other than rice (wheat, corn, barley, oats, ragi, etc.). Lentils form and important part of Hindu and Indian diet. It is true that some hindus (a minority) do not eat onion or garlic. Hindus is large cities relish tea and coffee, but in villages they might prefer milk, whey, or yoghurt drinks rather than tea. Those are the traditional drinks.
There is a great diversity of Indian Food due to the influence of many cultures and differences in the geography and climate through the subcontinent.

Traditionaly Hindus are vegetarian, although many Hindus eat meat now. The cow is considered a sacred animal so Hindus will not eat beef. Spices are a vital part of food preparation and are used to enhance the flavor of a dish.A Muslim influence is also evident in the cooking of meats. Mughlai food, kababs, rich Kormas (curries) and nargisi koftas (meatballs), the biryani (a layered rice and meat preparation), rogan josh, and preparations from the clay over or tandoor like tandoori rotis and tandoori chicken are all important contributions made by Muslim settlers in India.

South Indian food is largely non-greasy, roasted and steamed. Rice is the staple diet and forms the basis of every meal. It is usually served with sambhar, rasam (a thin soup), dry and curried vegetables and a curd preparation called pachadi. Coconut is an important ingredient in all South Indian food. The South Indian dosa (rice pancakes), idli (steamed rice cakes) and vada, which is made of fermented rice and dal, are now popular throughout the country. The popular dishes from Kerala are appams (a rice pancake) and thick stews. Desserts from the south include the Mysore pak and the creamy payasum.

A typical North-Indian meal would consist of chapatis or rotis (unleavened bread baked on a griddle) or paranthas (unleavened bread fried on a griddle), rice and an assortment of assessories like dals, friend vegetables, curries, curd, chutney, and pickles. For dessert one could choose from the wide array of sweetmeats from Bengal like rasagulla, sandesh, rasamalai and gulab-jamuns. North Indian desserts are very similar in taste as they are derived from a milk pudding or rice base and are usually soaked in syrup. Kheer is a form of rice pudding, shahi tukra or bread pudding and kulfi, a nutty ice cream are other common northern desserts.
Hindu's eat normal foodstuff what all human beings on Earth eat..There's no difference between Hindu and other religions because GOD is one and he made everyone equally with equal rights to survive and lead life..

Typical Indian villagers do not use cultlery. Hands are washed before eating and one hand only is used to test the temperature of the food as well as experincing the sensual touching the food. The other hand is used to pass plates etc around. Flat breads (Roti or chapatti made of wheat flour or jowar/bajri) is torn unto bite sized oeices and used in the hand to scoop up vegetables and lentils/chickpeas. Or rice is pressed into balls with with the vegetables.
