Hi everyone
Thinking of having a takeaway this eve but cant decide on chinese or indian?
If i go chinese it would be vegetable chow mein and if i go indian it would probably be chicken dhansak ( normally it would be veg biryani and korma sauce but i know that would be wayyyy too many syns)

Does anyone know the syn values of the above?

Thank you!
 
I know a chicken dhansak is 6.5! With boiled rice, or pilau is around 2/2.5 I think! I've got a feeling that chow me in is around 7 but I'm not totally sure! What did you go for?! My OH works for a curry house at the moment so I am pretty much living and breathing curry syn values ;)

Thanks lovemycat. I went for the dhansak in the end! The syns were so worth it lol! i thought boiled rice was free?
 
i thought boiled rice was free?

It is, I think lovemycat was saying the dhansak was 6.5 syns with boiled rice, pilau rice would be 2 or 2.5 syns extra.
 
I thought I'd have to say goodbye all together to Indian take aways. What is dhanska like? I would normally have gone for korma/masala which I know is way too high! What would something like tandoori chicken be like for syns?
 
Hi Corina, im the same i would normally have gone for Korma. I find the dhansak is actually very nice, its kinda sweet with a nice variety of flavours! its my new favourite lol! I just did a quick google search on syns in tandoori chicken and its coming up at 9 syns!
You could also try making your own sw tandoori chicken (again i googled and it came up staight away)
 
Lovemycat would you have a good guesstimate on lamb rogan josh please? I was enjoying it when I did a wheat free diet recently but have no idea now on syns! Thanks!
