Greetings from Miami, Steven and Ian

Well, we do exactly as you do, eat less, less calories than you need. Most everyday Indian cooking does not use a lot of fat. I would often use only 1 tsp. oil for tempering or tarka. I never put ghee or butter on my chapatties, roties or nans. We moostly eat boiled rice, except when I am cooking a special meal.

You have to reduce the quantity you eat, stop eating any fried dishes, eat less desserts and more fresh vegetables and fruits. Rice and chapatties are okay, in controlled quantities, just like potatoes and past are.
