I'm meeting my mother in law for dinner at a South Indian restaurant tonight and need some suggestions on what meal to choose. When eating out I usually look for items that aren't too high in calories and have some protein in them but South Indian is typically vegetarian and what we usually get is dosai with potatoes, dripping in ghee. Any better options?

    Talk to the waiter and tell them you are under a doctor's care and you need a healthy meal. I have found this really works. They can even cook a dish off the menu in a healthier version. You will be surprised.
    You could mention the restaurant or give the link to the menu site and people can suggest things.
