LOL, are you serious, or just teasing the girls in this thread? I also use less oil when I cook desi food, and I use olive oil instead of corn or canola. My rule is that you can cook your food anyway that you like in your own house. If you cook with enough oil and salt to cause a heartattack, diabetes, etc., then that is your problem. I have gone out of my way to educate people about cooking in a healthy fashion over the last 15 years, and if you still don’t get the point, then I can’t help you.
HOWEVER - in my house, I am responsible for your health and the health of my family, so we eat properly, which means that the salan does not have an inch of oil floating on top, we use less salt, and eat brown rice on a daily basis. I ignore the comments about my food.
