What do you order from the Indian if you've got dodgy bowels?

[Papertrail392]

I can't handle spice/heat but we're having an Indian takeaway tonight for DS birthday. Any suggestions?

My MIL can’t handle spice and has butter chicken.

Tandoori chicken (1/4) or chicken shashlick, naan or chapatti, and a ved side dish - saag aloo.

Veg side dish that should say.

Boiled rice.

I’m a vegetarian and don’t really like sauce so I get some starters like onion bhaji, veg pakora and veg samosa and have with a few spoonfuls of rice and either naan or chapati.

Chicken korma is a coconut flavoured mild creamy curry.

I have a badamee which is about the same heat at a korma and has cashews and boiled egg

Buscopan is a miracle worker for me when I know a food could trigger ibs flare up.
Have you tried it?

i think you need to add the word restaurant to the title.

Tarka daal and saag paneer.

Tandoori mixed grill!

Thanks everyone.

alexdgr8 why? Everyone managed to figure out what I meant, as cryptic as it was 🙄

I think she's suggesting that it's racist

GoodVibesHere oh right, I had no idea that was racist. Everyone I know says indian/chinese/Italian. Didn't know we were a bunch of racists! My apologies to anyone I've offended.

Nah as an Indian it’s not racist. Not to me personally. I also worked out you meant restaurant. Maybe some people might be offended.
Anyway, what Indian people eat when they have dodgy bowels is rice and dal and some sort of vegetarian side dish? But mainly rice and dal.

@Megacervixosaurus

Tarka daal and saag paneer.

One of my local restaurants does a tarka Dal that it describes as medium hot. It hurts to eat!

Oh really, my local Indians Tarka Daal is almost tasteless, there’s a hint of coconut but that’s about it.

I'd just have mushroom rice, a poppadum and maybe a peshwari naan. I'd lay off the curry completely, as much as I love it.

A biryani.

I knew someone would jump to call you racist, just ignore it.

Chicken, vegetable or prawn Korma or passanda for me. Or on the odd occasion butter chicken. Anything else is way too spicy and I'd be 💩ing for England after it

Plain rice and a curry without dairy - I would opt for a Chana daal and an mushroom bhaji personally, or perhaps tandoori chicken if I wanted meat. Dairy is your worst enemy with such issues

As another local indian... Overcooked sticky rice, lime juice, watery daal (no tadka)

Yeah no tadka- dal without tadka! My mum would also give me boiled potatoes cooked very lightly in cumin and turmeric.
NOT a biriyani! I mean at least not what I consider a biriyani which is rich and heavy and oily.

My bowels are super dodgy (Crohn's). My fave is chicken tikka, pilau rice and sag paneer. Mmm
