I love Indian food but it's hardly healthy. Most of it is high in creams and butters. Update: this commenter has more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

- BrawnLongHaul 6y agoLol. Actually the creams and butters are the healthy part of Indian food (assuming they are using pure ghee). It is the excessive carbs and vegetable oil fried crap that is the unhealthy part.
- xwdv 6y agoThe creams and butters are not healthy, they are just healthier than some alternatives. They still create a sludge in your arteries that blood has to pump through. Excessive is relative. If you burn a lot of carbs working fields or in endurance sports you need the carbs.
- uhtred 6y agoLol, wut. What do you mean by excessive carbs?
- in_cahoots 6y agoHome-cooked Indian food is much less rich than the stuff you’ll find in restaurants. Cream and butter are much more expensive than rice, lentils, and vegetables.
- nunchuck 6y agoCream and butter isn't the problem. It's the degree of refinement, and whether or not inexpensive, corner cutting processes are involved throughout the entire chain of production. Here's your plate of rice. Sans Butter and Cream. Go on, eat death then.
