Speaking of snobbery: the reason why "Indian food is so delicious" is that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Or, more appropriately: "de gustibus non est disputandum". I know lots of people who really don't like Indian food. (luckily, I'm not one of them).
Perhaps something that the cited studies overlooked: surely, one reason a lot of Indian dishes are tasty is their high calorie content. Hmmm, sweet calories.
For instance, check out Vah Reh Vah chef's recipe for Dal Makhani [1]: the amount of oil, butter and cream combined in a single pot might well clog your arteries just by watching the video. ;-). Yet, I'll be damned if I didn't want to try it right away!

- krtkush 6y agoI agree with you about most parts; specially about more calories = delicious food. However, most Indian dishes have a restaurant version and a home-made version. The former is enriched with all kind of ingredients that make it heavy and calorie rich but super tasty while the latter is simpler and more suitable as daily food. Dal makhani is usually a "party dish" which is not consumed on a regular basis. However, it too has a simpler version that is not loaded with butter and cream.
- llampx 6y agoRestaurant Indian food is not representative of what people eat everyday. It is too rich and too spicy to eat everyday. Yes of course some people eat it every day, just like some people order pizza every day or eat 3 meals at McDonald's. I hardly think Indian food is the only food that has high calorie content. How much saturated fat and carbs are in a regular McDonald's meal or a Starbucks frappe?
