Desi style of vegetable cooking can be also be healthy. I already posted above that the vegetables should be cooked with least of ingredients - with not more than one or two spice and less oil and salt. (and not overcooked as well)

You do not have to go low on spices , but low on sodium and oil yes .
The nutritional value that is lost when cooking or overcooking vegetables will depend on the cooking method, and not all nutrients are affected by cooking. Longer cooking will likely result in more nutrient losses for those nutrients that are affected by cooking, but overcooking will not remove all of the nutritional value. Also, cooked vegetables generally taste better when they are not overcooked, which increases the likelihood that they will be consumed.

You cannot overcook beans or daals they to be cooked to the point that you do not need to chew on them.
