Indian food!

I love Indian. I think that the general advice is to go for vegetables or prawns rather than beef or lamb; a biriyani rather than separate curry and rice dishes, a tomato-based curry rather than a cream-based curry and go as hot as you can to feel satisfied.

Have fun, I think real take away curries are going to be very rare treats for me in the future!

I had some this past weekend, and ate all the foodz. Guess that was considered my cheat meal for last week.

Well honestly this is the way I usually go too. It's too good not to.

just watch the rice intake.....measure some ahead of time so you can get close eye balling it. I just did the same and kept it to half a cup......they have alot of Kabob dishes which is basically grilled...I stuck to that.....I too counted this as a cheat meal...I also took an extra 30 min walk before hand to off set the calories

I'd rather have garlic naan any day of the week than plain rice. Seriously - go without the rice. Get the bread. Even if you go over in calories for the day, it's well worth it if this is an occasional thing.

Grilled tandoori vegetable kababs. And as another poster wrote - try not to eat too much rice. Have fun!

LOVE Indian food. Try doing something like the palak aloo (potatoes and spinach) or chana masala (chickpeas). Just avoid the samosas, however amazing they may be, if you're worried about calories, as they're about 300 each according to MFP.

I'm Indian and most Indian dishes are relatively healthy as is the cuisine in general. Look for chicken tikka, which are chunks of boneless chicken breast marinated and prepared just like regular tandoori chicken. It's very good and healthy, however if the menu says chicken tikka masala then ask for no sauce because the chicken will come smothered in a delicious tomato cream sauce that will be so good that you will eat every drop of it. Feel free to gorge on daal(stewed lentils) channa masala (stewed chickpeas) dal makhani (black lentils in a great tomato cream sauce, not heavy) aloo gobi (potatoes and cauliflower), instead of rice I highly recommend dosas if they have them which I would describe as a crispy Indian crepe made from rice, it's served with sambal which is spicy lentils that you dip the dosa in. If you can have some bread order some type of paratha which will be stuffed with some type of filling, my favorite is aloo(potato) or paneer(cheese). Avoid butter chicken(chicken makhani) , pakoras, samosas, onion bahji, poori, and the lamb dishes which will all be fatty and high calorie.
