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?

@JustTheOneSwan
Are you mad? Rice AND noodles? Maybe if you have two separate mains, but with a single main? I'm clutching my pearls here.

Both, always! And poppadoms too.

This.

You have it your way, let the bloke have it his.

Rice and naan, though shop bought naan is basically just crumbly pitta so I wouldn’t really miss it.

Compulsory. How could you choose between them? It's like admitting which kid is your favourite.

I love a chickpea curry. I would have both!

BiscoffSundae · 03/08/2022 16:08

Yeh it’s gonna need the rice

liveforsummer · 03/08/2022 16:08

Yes you need both - they have entirely different jobs within the meal, dd likes to mix her curry and rice together and then smear it on top of the naan like a pizza 😆. You probably need some samosas and poppadoms too btw 😆

Dotjones · 03/08/2022 16:08

YABU, curry is rank, so is rice. Naans are tolerable on their own.

35965a · 03/08/2022 16:09

Always rice and naan!

TomAllenWife · 03/08/2022 16:09

You're wrong

It's rice, naan, chips and poppadoms

Chouetted · 03/08/2022 16:10

I eat it with naan. The rice I think is supposed to be for mopping up the gravy after the bread is gone, but as I live alone, it seems a bit OTT for one.

villamariavintrapp · 03/08/2022 16:11

I heard a character on radio 4 last week (sounded like Hayley cropper) asking for 'biryani with rice not chapati' thought that was a very strange choice.

TheMullerLightOwl · 03/08/2022 16:11

Honestly I think is the most unreasonable OP I've ever seen. Put the rice on and get some poppadoms while you're at it!

Hillarious · 03/08/2022 16:13

Someone mentioned having a roast with or without Yorkshire Pudding. What planet is that person on?

Use the rice as a cheap filler for your DH. Leaves more curry for you.

GiantSpaceHamster · 03/08/2022 16:14

Rice and naan and now I want a curry

JustTheOneSwan · 03/08/2022 16:15

PSA don't buy Tesco share bag mini popadoms.
They are Not edible and quite possibly Boris Johnson's bottom clinkards.

diddl · 03/08/2022 16:17

If he wants some rice as well he can cook himself some!

We tend to have one or the other.

FranklySonImTheGaffer · 03/08/2022 16:21

YABU sorry OP.
Also, in our house you get chips, rice, naan bread and curry. Plus sometimes some poppadoms etc (DH likes chips and spoonful of rice, I prefer lots of rice and a few chips and we share the bread).

sunsetsandsandybeaches · 03/08/2022 16:24

Definitely both!

whoruntheworldgirls · 03/08/2022 16:24

I have rice and naan or rice and poppadoms

Jemimapinotduck · 03/08/2022 16:26

Rice, chips, naan and poppadoms in this house ☺️ occasionally no chips or poppadoms but always rice and naan

littlegreenheart · 03/08/2022 16:31

If you're making dinner, you can arrange the dinner you like. Having rice and naan in the same dinner is pretty traditional/usual, so YABU to say make a blanket statement that it's one or the other.

But YANBU to say I made dinner, and this is it - take it leave it or go get something to add. As I assume you would do on the days that your partner makes dinner. If you really can't decide - maybe cook together, even if that means (for example) that you do the curry and s/he does the rice?

Chocoqueen · 03/08/2022 16:32

We just have naan with ours, but that's mainly because we prefer naan to rice and no rice = more naan.

bangersandsmashhh · 03/08/2022 16:34

This has to be a reverse…. Everyone knows curry comes with naan and rice plus bhajis, samosas and poppadoms

NiqueNique · 03/08/2022 16:36

Ahhh I really fancy making a curry now! Maybe on Saturday.
