> Indian food is labor intensive and uses expensive ingredients

Labor intensive yes, but expensive ingredients? Maybe saffron, but it's used very sparingly in only a few dishes, and a little goes a long way.

Generally, vegetables are more expensive than grains and more perishable.

By mass, Indian food is mostly grains and pulses (Rice, wheat, and split peas).
