Indian Takeaway - Help!!

[Jaybar]

OH has just mentioned having an Indian meal delivered tonight so I want to know what I can have. I normally have a Korma, would this be allowed due to the coconut?
If not what else could I have that's creamy and not too spicy? I'll have a saag bahji instead of rice etc.

Butter chickem:

• 1 dessertspoon dried crushed chillies

• 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced root ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 5 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 125g (4¼ oz) natural yoghurt

• 125g (4¼ oz) butter

All 3 dishes are very similar, I guess evaporated milk is a no no.
Also, tandori stuff would be ok wouldnt it?

Thanks ever so for that - much appreciated

Now i have to decide what to have

 

[RainbowCookie]

Have you had butter chicken before? Its bloody lovely!! xx

 

[Jaybar]

I have, although only from Asda, not a real authentic one.
I think I will go for that one Rainbow, the one from Asda was lush so I imagine one from the Indian will be super lush

Im not a big fan of supermarket curries, they are always a bit sad.

It comes in a hot iron bowl thing, really simmering to hell, its sooo yummy.

Ps.. I hope you are happy with yourself.. I am now desperately craving indian food.. not sure my steak and salad for tea is going to cut it now. xx

I never trusted any takeaways or restaurants when I was on induction, But saying that I do theink they are all much more carb/cal aware these days.

 

[RainbowCookie]

Well I am paying for my gluttony.. out of ketosis, very squiffy tummy, generally feeling tired and grumpy.

Next time i'll stick with the steak & salad lol. xx
