Is Indian food very oily?

Answer 1

In restraints its OK but at home in ordinary food Not really.........but if we want to make something special we use little bit more oil because of this the gravy of vegetable comes out very nice in colour and taste.

Answer 2

It depends how you cook it--The restaurants usually make it in oil and cream, etc...becasue using fatty ingredients is a sure-fire way to make things taste good--But when people prepare items at home--they do not have to use fatty ingredients--it is easy to make vegetables and breads with very little oil and even less spices...If you are ordering from a restaurant you can specifically ask for less oil but they have often made the food ahead of time and are just reheating it--so--the best way to get less oily Indian food is to make it yourself--there are tons of recipe books and websites out there--Good Luck:)
