Chinese food, by all means are not straight vegetables that hold all the vitamins and minerals that a healthy person would want. At the same time many Fast food chinese chains do seem to contain a lot of grease, oil and fat in certain foods. Although, that is in the industry franchises that really give chinese food the less than healthy name. Where as, I cook my own chinese and indian cuisine. I find that homemade chinese and indian cuisine is a lot less fatty and greasy. If anything the only true differences that chinese and indian ethnic cooking proves is that Chinese cuisine tends to use more noodles and does not have a restriction (For religious proposes) on what types of meat is used. Chinese cuisine also very rarely uses curry or cumin in their cooking. Indian Cuisine does not use pork due to religious beliefs, and mainly uses curry and cumin.

The really differences come in the seasonings and in what is allowed to be cooked. If that is all that there is then maybe recipes for chinese and indian cuisine is needed to be found and tried. I also want to state that Chinese use rice with everything because it is the most affordable and indian cuisine uses naan bread. Both as a startch in the meal. If that is not two world that have great tastes I don't know what is.
