[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why so testy that most Indian food is oily. It's a simple fact. It might be that YOU have modified recipes,  but generally speaking whrn I go back home to Bangalore (which is about 4xs.a.year due to work travel) I'm always working hard to avoid the excessive oil and vegetables cooked until they are dead. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but when I'm home it really stands out to me how the educated wealthy of India look like the uneducated poor in the US. And Indians are still eating Indian food, you can't blame it all on McDonald's. It's access to more rich foods and food in general. [/quote]

Home cooked South Indian vegetarian food is not oily. And the vegetables are not cooked until they are dead. A lot of old world cultures have the tradition of slow cooking vegetables until they melt in your mouth.

North Indian vegetarian food is richer but that's what suits their cooler climate. Home cooked North Indian vegetable dishes are not done to death either.

Your facts are wrong as many on this thread have pointed out.

Well my North Indian MIL's vegetables are super oily AND cooked to death. That's my experience with it.[/quote]
