- Bruh my mom made plenty of homecooked Indian food. There is plenty of butter/oil in that too, and its usually served with a mountain of starch as well (pile of white rice, roti/puri/naan/etc). If it isn't bean/lentile based, its a bit lacking in protein too, so you end up eating A LOT because you're just not getting the satiety signals.
Indian restaurant food (at least here in the US) is also heavily influenced by Punjabi food (which tends to be richer in general), and most of the crap you eat at those Indian lunch buffet places comes out of a plastic bag and is batch cooked at a central distro facility.
