What to order from the Indian Takeaway?

I'd like a bit of a treat meal but not one that's going to take me way overboard with the carbs. I'm not bothered about fat content and fancy something with a sauce rather than just tandoori style stuff. What should I order?? This is me planning for a bit of Friday night indulgence Grin
I've got the cauliflower rice at the ready to go with it!

I've just had this exact conversation with my husband in readiness for ordering tomorrow!
What about saag paneer as a side? I think I'm going to have that with lamb tikka

MrsRonBurgundy · 09/06/2016 22:47

Meant to say it's quite wet so could be like a sauce?

Mmm will try a paneer side dish - haven't had it before. It's my first takeaway since starting lchf.
Can I have tikka or any of the creamy curries? Or do they have added sugar/flour generally?

tikka is fine I believe!
I think the creamy ones will be quite sugary but I'm not definite.

You could try a shashlick which is tikka but comes with onions and peppers and is a bit more interesting?

Sag paneer = food of the gods! Excellent recommendation thank you! I also enquired about whether there was sugar in tikka masala and the ft said he'd make it with no sugar for me!

Tarki Daal ?

TheGonnagle · 10/06/2016 19:45

I always have tandoori king prawns because they're a bit of a treat and saag paneer!

ToucanPlayThatGame · 10/06/2016 19:59

Lentils are good. Tarka dal and a lamb tikka would be my choice.

MrsRonBurgundy · 10/06/2016 20:05

Ah I'm glad you enjoyed FastLove

I'm just waiting for mine to be delivered! Chicken shashlick and saag paneer. My stomach is rumbling!

FastLove · 10/06/2016 20:30

Only letdown was that my cauli rice hadn't quite cooked enough but I was so hungry I had it a bit crunchy Confused

I had thought lentils were a no-no Toucan?

You can't eat dahl on a low carb diet!!!

Voteforpedr0 · 12/06/2016 00:04

Yes you can, just not advised to right at the start of low carb diet. Lentils are highly beneficial and will aid weight loss eaten In the right quantities

Most restaurants will help to cater for your needs if you ask then nicely.

I would stick to either tandoori chicken or chicken tikka (dry) and would ask for a bit of a side salad or plain veg on the side.
