Curry.

[undecided112]

Lighthearted. Chickpea curry for dinner tonight. I got some naans to go with it. DP says he wants rice too. AIBU in saying it's one or the other? Not rice AND naan?

I have curry, rice, naans, poppadoms and onion rings 🤣

You are wrong. Pop that rice on!

It's a puzzler. Rice and naan is wrong because the rice drinks all the gravy but rice and noodles is compulsory.
so double carbs depends on cuisine.

Of course rice and naan

We have rice and naan.

Other times we have rice, naan and poppadoms.

YABVU. Rice and naan are musts.

I'd rather a lil naan and a lil rice rather than commit to one.

Rice, naan and salad with curry

Definitely rice and naan

Both is fine, lots of people like both. I like chapatis best myself, DH perfers some rice with his along with the bread, which he mostly only has to mop up the juices.

Rice and naan yes.

I only have rice and curry as I don’t like Naan or poppadoms but rice and naan is the way

Curry with just naan is basically a thick soup and some bread!

Both, always! And poppadoms too.

One or the other especially if its chickpeas

Always both!

I usually go for one or the other because otherwise I end up eating way too much and I'm someone who has to keep an eye on their weight - but I'm sure plenty of people have both without being greedy. There's no either/or rule here!

If he wants rice and you don't want to cook an extra thing if it's only him eating it (which is totally fair enough!) then suggest he cooks his own rice. But I don't think it's unreasonable for him to want both if he's got a big appetite.

Both is definitely reasonable and preferable.

YABU. Paratha > Naan.

Oooh is paratha the yummy flaky one? If so, put me down for one of those.

Has to be both. You need naan to dip in the curry sauce. It's the law! ( And if it isn't, it should be )
I can't imagine telling another adult one or the other.

Both! For homemade curry we have the mini naans from Tesco gussied up with a bit of garlic butter and rice. For takeaway, DH, preschooler DS and I share two naans and a pilau rice and DS and I will have some poppadoms. TBH, I could do without the rice in that context, but DH eats 90% of it anyway (and doesn't have poppadoms because he's silly...).

When I was living in India we always always had rice with the main meal and then usually had chapati/ roti as well. Sometimes instead of chapati you’d have naan, poppadoms, paratha, uttapam etc but I don’t think it was ever instead of rice, rice was always an option.

I’d say rice and naan is like a roast dinner, you can have roast beef and roast potatoes with or without the Yorkshire pudding but you’re unlikely to have roast beef and Yorkshire's without the roast potatoes. You can have a curry and rice with or without naan/ bread but not a curry with bread and no rice.

Yabvu why would you begrudge him some rice 🤣

The diplomatic approach. I like it!

Both. And an additional curry. And Bombay potato side. And probably saag paneer too.
