Does Indian food fit in the Mediterranean diet?
It does, but probably not your butter chicken or samosas! Focus on the veggie curries, lentil dishes, and whole grains. Skip the deep-fried stuff!

I follow the Mediterranean diet, and I can tell you that Indian food, especially the vegetarian dishes, fits perfectly. Just use olive oil instead of ghee and load up on the veggies and lentils.
Not really, unless you tweak it. Mediterranean diet focuses on olive oil, fish, and fresh veggies. Indian food can be heavy on ghee and fried stuff.
Absolutely! Indian food can fit right into the Mediterranean diet. Both cuisines emphasize plant-based ingredients, healthy fats, and lean proteins. Think lentil dal, chickpea chana masala, and veggie-packed curries.
