Can you lose weight by eating indian food???

Sure. But you have to log everything and stick to your calorie deficit. Weigh your meats, semi solids, log all sauces. If you're cooking at home, try the recipe builder. You must make your own entries and not use generic entries.

Yes it's possible, if you cook from scratch. But you do lose some of the flavour by cutting right down on the amount of oil used.

You can lose weight eating anything, you just have to do it in moderation and log your calories. I am currently losing weight eating hot pockets for lunch every day.

Absolutely if you stick to home made Indian food avoiding the butter, and the rich sauces. I am a vegetarian living in U.S for more than 30 years. We eat Indian food for lunch and typically eat salad and soup for dinner all home made.

If I cook Indian food I make tomato based sauces instead of cream. I use lots of lentils, chickpeas and spinach so it can be healthy if you choose the right ingredients. A lot of vegetarian and vegan Indian food is low in fat.

One thing you might try, since you say you cook for your family, is taking a meal you frequently cook, and weigh the ingredients as you go along. Next, enter all of those in MFP as a recipe (or individual recipes for each dish, if that makes more sense to you). You do this in the "Recipes" sub-tab of the "Food" tab on MFP. It will ask you for a number of servings each recipe makes; start with the number of servings that would be normal to you for that recipe. Once that's done, you can see whether that recipe is high in calories or not.

If it's high in calories compared to your calorie goal, there are a couple of ways you could go. First, you could simply eat a smaller-than normal serving yourself. For example, if it is 500 calories per serving, you could eat half the normal amount if you want 250 instead.

Second, you could go into the recipe (as if you were going to edit it) and look at each ingredient. Which are adding the most calories? Could you reduce that ingredient, or substitute a less calorie-laden ingredient? If so, you could consider modifying the recipe in that way. Google can help you find lower calorie substitutes for many things, if necessary.

Usually, it's easier to create a sustainable weight loss plan if you find a way of eating that you lets you eat normally on a day-to-day basis, rather than doing something truly radical and different that may be hard to continue permanently. Looking at what you normally cook as described above is quite a bit of effort, but it might help you to gradually reach a sustainable way of cooking & eating that is lower in calories.

Just a thought.
