[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a home cook, what I dislike about Indian food is how time consuming it is to prepare. But I could eat a thali platter every day if it wasn't such a project. [/quote]

Do Indians have a 'thali platter' every day in India? If they do, who cooks there (how do they have time and you don't)?[/quote]
No one eats a restaurant thali every day. But a typical meal in our South Indian household would comprise of a sambar/dal, rasam, 2 vegetable dishes, a small chopped salad, rice, pickle and yogurt. We would help prep the ingredients the night before. My mom would cook everything for the 10 people in our household within 2 hours, including making a separate hot breakfast.[/quote]

Daily cooking for the family is the norm in an Indian household. Does not matter who makes the food.  Food gets made fresh in majority of  households.  There were always a bunch of household cooking chores - kneading dough, soaking beans, chopping veggies, shelling peas, grinding batter, boiling milk, setting yogurt... it was part and parcel of daily life.  Yes...took a huge chunk of time.

And all of this inspite of the fact that most people are not making papads, badis, pickles, sauces, jellies...at home like our mother's did.
