Kind of depends on how you eat. I don't think daily food for North or South Indian is particularly unhealthy.
North Indian - daal, roti, 1-2 vegetable sides, yogurt
South Indian - sambar, idli (rice, urud daal), other urud daal based breads
- renewiltord 6y agoEither it's portion sizes, diet, or genetics. Or something else. But so many population risk factors are higher for South Asians at comparable stages of their life (same age, BMI - adjusted down, etc) that it would be a mistake to assume based on first principles. Empirically we know something is wrong somewhere.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoIt’s the diet, as always. Too many carbs, saturated fats, and sugars and overall too much food.
- vinni2 6y agoWhat are the “other urud daal based breads”?
- darkwizard42 6y agoRoti, paratha, bhatia come to mind. It is sometimes easy to think in South India urud daal is only used for idli / dosa but the south definitely consumes its fair share of other bread varieties
- vinni2 6y agoNever heard of urud daal rotis or parathas. What are the other bread varieties that are made of urud dal that I as a South Indian never heard of?
- darkwizard42 6y agoI just wrote them above. You can use various daal based flour for any breads.
