I imagine this map isn't counting legumes/lentils as vegetables. The Indian diet, especially vegetarian, is heavily lentil based. Lots of paneer (basically a cheese that also functions as a tofu-like ingredient for many dishes) too, and of course breads and rice as you mentioned. Also potatoes. I imagine most of those aren't considered vegetables by whatever source this map is using.

EDIT: Also of course India isn't nearly as vegetarian as people imagine. The surveys are kind of variable, but we're reasonably only sure somewhere between 20-30% of Indians are vegetarians per:
