    I was expecting something more bowel related based on the topic...

    Is it sad I was thinking this too?

    I LOVE Indian... so I would just EAT ALL THE THINGS and not worry about it. It's not like you do this daily, it's a special occasion with family, don't let it ruin a good time with family and friends. This is your life, and you have to still ENJOY it or you will quit. Treat yourself and don't worry about it.

    I usually just skip the rice as extra filler, enjoy the (vegetarian) dishes that I order, usually with some bread, drink water, and it all works out. Pretty often there is enough to bring home to make leftover hobo stew with the next day, which is fine--I have never run into an Indian restaurant that gets upset about giving doggy bags or leftovers, so hat can be useful.

    Im Indian....and i would suggest you stay away from the reddish colored gravies...spicy!
    skip the rice and maybe just have one Naan bread...its got loads of Ghee or butter on it,
    maybe try all the vegetarian dishes and with the meat dishes, pick out the meat and dont scoop out the gravy...the pieces will have enough sticking to them!!

    I'd go for a Chicken Shashlik for the main, most curry houses do them. It's tandoori grilled chicken on a skewer served with onion and veg, with sauce on the side. High in protein, not spicy at all and the most sensible option.

    This^^^ With a little bit of someone else's naan rather than a full one to myself :wink:

    I love Indian food, but I just know it's a cheat meal and don't do it very often.

    I usually drink water, no starter, order a vegetarian lentil dahl or bean dish (not one with cream!)l or mild veggie curry and eat a third or half depending on the serving size and let someone take the leftovers home. I also get my own serving of cucumber/tomato/onion (kachumber) salad (sometimes 2 servings if they are teeny tiny ones) and skip the rice – I have 1/2 of a wholemeal paratha bread instead and ask them not to put extra butter or ghee on anything. This way you have a few different things on your plate to enjoy and get protein, veggies and wholemeal starch.
