[quote=Anonymous]Np, and I cook from scratch nearly all meals. We happen to be Indian and that's how I grew up too. However, it's not accurate to say it can be super quick and easy. It's just not - not if you use fresh vegetables and ingredients that you yourself wash and clean. I probably spend 60-90 mins on dinner alone - that's to make 1 dal (lentil soup), 1 vegetable dish (subzi), rice and flatbread. And I work full time, exercise daily, and have 2 kids that I drive around everywhere for activities. It's not at all easy, it's not fast, and I resent the suggestion it is easy (either from other posters or my mother in law!). I completely get why people do takeout + eat out. We do not because we have crappy genetics and we have to look out for our health. I have about 20 tricks that I use to make it all more efficient, and we do leftovers daily for lunch, but its still a lot of work and takes a fair bit of planning. Also - my family won't eat the same thing all week.  So I cook something different every night and it's a total slog. I don't know anyone from a legitimate 'food culture' trying to keep it going who doesn't spend an hour or more cooking. [/quote]
