Indian cuisines are quite labor (and time) intensive as compared to the other cuisines I've seen, and that's why hard to prepare. For example, going by this link (http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/malai-kofta/ http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/malai-kofta/ ) , the curry based dish 'Malai Kofta' (very popular in India) is said to take 1 hr 30 minutes in total. Even if it's 1 hour, it's too much time just for a part of food (It's eaten with a 'naan' or flat bread, which needs to be prepared separately).
Certainly more time consuming than stacking raw meat slices and veggies inside a bread and topping it with mayonnaise.
- _delirium 12y agoThat doesn't sound particularly out of line for western cuisine, at least if you look at traditional food, rather than hamburgers. A typical "classic" French dish takes about 4-8 hours in total to prepare all the sauces and meats and such. Even just properly browning onions takes 30-45 minutes, and that's a pre-cooking phase in many French dishes. I've been learning Greek cuisine lately and it's similar, e.g. melitzanosalata (a common side dish / spread) takes 60-90 minutes or so, and has to be done before preparing the main meal unless you have multiple ovens.
