Going for a Curry

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but nevermind :smile:

I'm going out for a curry tomorrow night, and I wondered if anyone knows of a curry I could have thats not TOO high in sat fat.
Another problem is that I love Naan, but I know thats like the most fattening thing I could possibly have haha, so I may only have a little.

But yes, back to the original question, I am a vegetarian (though I do eat fish, cheese etc). I don't really like extremely spicy things, but the only two curries I've ever had have been korma (probably the most calorific) and bhuna.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :flowerforyou:

    Is your heart set on curry? You could try a tandoori instead. It is usually marinated in a yogurt sauce and grilled with veggies. I am sure they would have seafood or a vegetable entree. If your heart is set on curry, ask the staff at the restaurant. They should be able to steer you in the right direction.:happy:

    I was struggling with a very similar question earlier because I love indian food but a lot of curries are made with coconut milk. I have made my own Vindaloo and made it with reduced fat coconut milk and it turned out really good. There is a cook book called "600 Curries" and it is great for introducing you to cooking indian food and you could make your own low fat modifications.

    Bhuna's my fave too, and not that bad for you babe. Just switch the naan to a chapati!

    hi

    i think most indian places (the ones i go to do) have lots of healthy-ish side dishes like sag aloo, sag paneer and things with aubergine or orka in them. normally in a tomato based sauce as well so i think they could be worth trying. when i go i tend to have a side dish instead of rice and have a little bit of naan as they are irresistible!!! stay away from the korma tho. unfortunately tho they tend to put a lot of potato in the vegetarian dishes.

    enjoy it. i want an indian now! :)
