I'm quite surprised at that. I thought that dish would have a lot more syns than that!

From a proper take away??

Did you add some veg to make it EE??

Strange as usually the tikka massala I have had have been swimming in oil and is made with double cream

 

[Janeasetler]

I've had fish from the chippy

I removed the batter, had the fish with sw chips lots of salad SYN FREE

With 28g of batter it's 2.5 syns for the whole meal.

Loving SW

Chicken tikka masala is indeed 14.5 syns on a red and ee day. Only problem with that meal though is that there isnt any 1/3 superfree foods. It can be done within the syn limit though! Hope you enjoyed it

I find take away's vary so wildly both in taste and portion size

Thats what its synned as in my book have to be careful with the weight though as not all takeaways are the same size portions. I often have an Indian meal but usually go for lower synned ones than that yum yum

Thanks Sarah-Jayne. Just pointing out that on Red this would be the curry only ... not the boiled rice
