    Oooh.. I'm afraid my favorite is probably not too healthy (butter chicken). But I also love chicken tikka masala. The tandori chicken should be fairly healthy since it's basically oven roasted.

    The fried veggie bundles (dont know the name) and the potato and peas in the fried pastry are probably not healthy either but they are delicious.

    I love Indian food, and have learned of a number of tasty dishes that can fit within my calorie and macro goals in a number of past threads. Be sure to use the "Search" feature to check out those past threads, so that you don't miss out on a wealth of past recommendations! I would suggest searching for "indian food". :drinker:

    Chana dal. Chicken Tikka (not Tikka Masala). And Sag Paneer .... ooh, that sounds good right now.

    I like Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo and either Veggie or Chicken Pekoras. The Vindaloo is delicious but probably not real healthy.

    I love saag paneer, all the dals, aloo gobi, and rogonjosh. Also, the Indian place we go to has an excellent chicken liver dish, but I don't see it at most other Indian places.

    My recent fav is Chicken kebabs. I love spinach chicken as well. Both can be made healthy and taste super delicious

    I love Indian food! Tandoori items are pretty healthy. So are biryani dishes and anything without heavy, creamy sauces/curries on them.

    Dal, tandoori chicken/prawns, chana, chicken tikka

    I'm Indian, u can pretty much make anything healthier...also Masala does not mean loaded with cream.

    No actually, Masala literally means mixture of spices. Cream is just cream :)

    Vegetable Korma is probably just awful for you, but it tastes amazing.... otherwise I'd stick with the biryani. Mostly spices - no sauce makes it the healthier pick.

    currently the following is mixed together in the oven (my version of butter chicken). It's about 200 calories.

    Plain yoghurt
    chicken breast
    tomato
    onion
    bay leaf
    cardamom pods
    chipotle pepper
    cyanne pepper
    cracked pepper
    roasted garlic
    gara masala
    cumin
    cloves
    ginger
    coriander

    going to top it with some gara masala - Which is a SPICE, not cream...where did you get cream?

    My version of butter chicken.

    this is kind of off topic a bit but what are those things called - they're dough/cheese/pancake tasting ball things that look like they're soaked in butter


    i had them at an indian buffet once...they're probably REALLY REALLY bad for you in all ways
