[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting -- didn't realize diabetes was prevalent among Indians. I grew up in a home with boring, bland Indian food -- NOTHING was drowning in oil; veggies were cooked in like 1-2 spoons of oil, just with Indian spices so they didn't taste like American food, and daal was basically just boiled lentils w spices -- no oil at all.[/quote] I've never in my life experienced Indian food like that. Are your parents 2nd generation? [/quote] They're first gen but incredibly health conscious. So yeah -- desi food in my home growing up was NOTHING like what you get in restaurants (which can be tasty) or in other desi homes (not always tasty but drowning in oil). I saw we got food that was an "impression" of desi food but not the real thing. I grew up thinking it was SO boring -- and yet now I'm thinking -- health wise not so bad (though obv need to control rice intake).[/quote]
