Information regarding the most common dishes consumed by South Asians originating from the Punjab (Sikhs) or Gujerat (Hindus) and living in London, was obtained from weighed records collected as part of three separate dietary surveys.

There was considerable variation in the fat and energy contents of similar recipes both within and between groups, suggesting that reduction in fat (and hence energy) intakes could be achieved, without loss of palatability, by recommending use of the lower fat versions
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
