most indian families have at least somebody who will get up at dawn to start making dinner, so you are looking at basic food that might take 15-18 hours to cook a meal.
This is certainly not true anymore, and may never have been true. Even when families have a cook, the preparation of the meal takes far less time than you describe. Most regional cuisine in India is substantially simpler than the Muglai food which constitutes the bulk of Indian food in the states, and even Muglai food... sure some things are super labor intensive, but I don't think the proportion is substantially more than Western food.
