calling all Indians-HELP

Kali112

Ok, so I spend a significant amount of time in India because my fiance lives there. I am moving to India in july for good, but I will be going back at the end of march to see my sweetheart.

The problem is, EVERY time i go there-you all know it-i cannot avoid the food! He is in a metropolitan city (not delhi or mumbai) where healthy lowfat food is unfortunately extremely limited. His family also enjoy rich mughlai food on a daily basis. I find it difficult to cook as his maid makes all the food and i don't want to spend my time cooking when i should be enjoying. Cake and chocolate is literally force fed into my mouth. I cannot resist milky, sweet chai and ladoo.

My question is-what healthy food can i ask her to prepare/buy? The only healthy thing i know of is idli (without the chutney-not my favourite i find it pretty bland), bhelpuri, and...that's pretty much it. everything else is swimming in oil. I find dhal and rice very unfiling so please do not suggest dhal. HELP! I am not vegetarian but i do not eat pork.
