[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half Indian here. Indian food isn't necessarily healthiers. Lots of fried foods, and many of the curries are made with ghee (clarified butter). There are healthier options too.. just like there are healthier American food options.[/quote]

Ghee is quite healthy. Indian food is quite healthy. No one eats cream-based curries at home every day. South Indian cuisine is probably one of the healthiest regional cuisines. Like any diet, it’s all in the preparation. [/quote]

Ghee is not healthy. Saturated fats are not healthy. Ghee can be eaten in moderation as part of a healthy diet.[/quote]

It is healthy. Ghee is not plain butter. It is purified butter, made by boiling the butter to obtain butterfat in its natural state. Ghee has been used in Auyervedic medicine for thousands of years and numerous studies have been done on the health benefits of ghee, namely that it reduces the risk of heart disease. It also lowers insulin resistance and has a ton of vitamins. [/quote]

It is still derived from butter -- which no adult needs in great quantities. Sure I bet there are health benefits to minimal consumption of ghee. But there are families that cook EVERYTHING in ghee AND then POUR it on top of rotis etc. to make them soft.[/quote]
