3 Cooking Mistakes You May Be Making While Making Indian Food

In this short monologue, the speaker outlines three frequent errors people make when preparing Indian cuisine and offers healthier alternatives. The first mistake is over‑using spices, which can make meals overly "rajasic" and cause restlessness, acidity, or ulcers; the speaker recommends moderating spice levels and opting for freshly ground whole spices or fresh herbs such as coriander and curry leaves. The second mistake is the use of refined, highly processed oils that contain bleaching agents and deodorizers; instead, the speaker advocates for cold‑pressed "kachi gani" oils from trusted brands, or even whole‑fat options like grated coconut, nut pastes, or completely ditching oil. The third mistake is excessive grain consumption, especially in traditional dishes like khichdi; the speaker suggests reducing grain portions, though the excerpt ends before detailing the alternative. The overall tone is conversational and instructional, blending English and Hindi (Hinglish) to convey practical, health‑focused cooking guidance.
