Take away dinner?

[TheFerretsSleeping]

Getting a treat takeaway tomorrow for dinner and I'm bored of the usual I get. I camt handle any spice at all. Even think mint tooth paste burns. Either chinese or Indian. What do I want?? Hit me with your faves please

Korma is very mild.

Yeah normally get korma but getting bored with it. Chinese usually get sweet and sour or bbq rice and chicken balls.

Hmm, I like beef in oyster sauce, or chicken with ginger and spring onions.
Neither are remotely spicy.

Most chinese things are very mild. Unless its called "chilli" something then you're pretty safe 😂

I really like cashew chicken, lemon chicken and chow main. If you want a real treat then crispy duck. None are at all spicy.

No other options except Chinese or Indian? Fish and chips?

I get battered squid or a pancake roll and ha moon vermicelli from the Chinese, which is like Singapore noodles without the chilli.

Or I'd get something like an M&S meal deal instead of a takeaway - it's no bother to put a few trays in the oven.

Or you could be That Person who gets the chicken omelette and chips from the Indian or Chinese - most takeaways have an 'English Food' section.

Butter chicken or chicken patia are both nice from the Indian and not spicy either.

Patia from my local Indian is 'hot and sour', and is VERY hot, so be careful with that!

Oh I’ve never had a hot patia, thanks for the warning - I’m now off to look for a spicy patia

Ooh OP I second chicken with ginger and spring onions, it’s lovely ! In fact we might be looking at a takeaway in the Pudding house over the weekend now !

Bhuna or Dupiaza Indian dishes are very flavourful but with very little heat imo. Also Makhonwalla. I have Chicken in OK sauce from
the Chinese (only live in a rural village so only limited to Indian or Chinese cuisine) I have IBS that is triggered by anything hot so I've done the leg work!

If the OP wants no spice at all, it's likely that bhunas, dopiazas, butter chicken and certainly not patias will suit. All are significantly more spicy than a korma IME.

Live quite rural so limited choice. I've tried butter chicken out of a jar before and it was too spicy 😅 everyone I know jokes that I would find vinalla spicy. Once had to send back carbonra (spelling?) They had put to much pepper in it.

Pasanda might suit? That's usually mild IME.

I'd go Chinese if you don't like spice and would order lemon chicken, duck pancakes, mushroom foo yung and some vegetable rice or noodles. Yum! I love Chinese but husband not a fan.

@Jellycatspyjamas do you mean passanda? Pathia is hot

Chicken tikka masala or butter chicken aren’t spicy.

For Chinese what about trying a different type of sweet and sour? Sweet and sour King prawns Hong Kong style. Or lemon chicken, or orange duck. I like chicken satay but it does often have some spice in it! How about a duck with pancakes?

I hate spicy things too but if you tell the waiter they can usually tone it down for you. Or use yoghurt

Omg OP that's actually quite cute, bless you. I'd suggest sweet and sour chicken from the chinese :)

King prawn passanda is really mild, quite creamy, it’s made with red wine too so has a lovely richness to it.

Chow Mein is a safe bet. My Chinese doesn’t do lemon chicken and I bloody love it! 😭 I’m also pregnant and now craving it damn it!!!

King prawn Fu young is and very mild almost tasteless...

🤣 honestly if I use mint toothpaste my eyes water and I drool so much too. I'm liking the sound of the pasanda. Thank you everyone 😊

chicken kashmiri very mild with banana

Chicken with water chestnuts and bamboo shoots

Another vote for kashmiri as being very mild.
