Me and my husband cook something everyday and we mostly have Indian food. Indian food does require care and time but if it’s taking that long, you are doing it wrong or have not learned enough to be quick at the prep work. A curry and roti would be 40 minutes to an hour and I would most likely have done raita and salad too. However, I was much slower than that when I started. So it does take some practice However I do agree that cooking has kept Indian women in the kitchen for long.
