Hello.

If I remember correctly, chicken tikka masala is a frighteningly high amount of points, as is korma.

I follow WW online, and I haven't quite worked out how to find out the points of everything, but they do have an article on how to eat out in Indian restaurants.

This is what I usually have:

Chicken tikka, main meal is 14PP
Plain boiled rice is 12PP
Sag Aloo 8PP

A total of 34 pp, but realistically I would never eat an entire portion of rice so I would halve that and the same goes for the sag aloo. In which case you're looking at 24pp.

Their suggestion is to have:

STARTER: Tandoori King Prawn	6
MAIN: Chicken Tikka (8 pieces) (half)	14
SIDE DISH: Poppadom	4
TOTAL:	24

But where's the rice?! I'd feel a bit odd just eating a plate of chicken tikka.

According to Eat Out Guide 2013...

Chicken Tikka Masala-17pp
Chicken Tikka Skewers-13pp
Chicken Korma-26pp
Chicken Rogan Josh-28pp
Pilau Rice-25pp
Boiled Rice-12pp

Indian is unfortunately extremely high in PP, I waited a good few months before I had one as I just couldn't justify the points spending in my head! X

How is it so high?! A Rogan Josh and rice could be 53pp???????

Ah right, thanks ladies

I'm Veggie and even a Vegetable Curry is 14pp so that's just for the Sauce and Oil :-( So depressing! X
