Some sort of flat bread.

Cauliflower rice is not too bad if you're trying to cut carbs.
Bombay potatoes?

BeanStew22 · 18/03/2022 20:00

Flat bread
Stir fried spinach

I understand chips is traditional for some? Wink

I'm not trying to be healthy or anything- my DC ate more rice than I expected with their dinner earlier

We normally have nan bread or chapatti with curry. Dh also makes side dishes that involve cabbage or other greens or sometimes a savoury squash/dates/prunes dish

Chips and garlic naan

Home made flat bread, easy. Tortilla like a roti. Pitta. Pasta.

Broccoli. I have it with everything.

Mosaic123 · 18/03/2022 20:02

Pasta, any shape.

SiobhanSharpe · 18/03/2022 20:03

Spiced and fried mashed potato cakes (sometimes these have a spicy pea filling too. Can't remember what they're called, tho. )

isthismylifenow · 18/03/2022 20:04

Roti or Naan bread

littlefaith · 18/03/2022 20:04

Quinoa?

Iamanunsafebuilding · 18/03/2022 20:05

Chips, definitely chips

DetailMouse · 18/03/2022 20:06

In a similar situation recently I rustled up home made naan bread. Fun and surprisingly easy to make and delicious.

PollyAnnie · 18/03/2022 20:07

Baked potato and curry always goes down well

goldenochre · 18/03/2022 20:07

Not joking but brioche rolls are yum with spicy curries 😁 i eat leftovers with a roll. They are soft and can soak up the gravy

Any type of flat bread, baked potato or chips

Or just make more rice it doesn't take long.

Paratha - if you can’t find any, you can use puff pastry rolled super thin and pan fried in a dry pan.
