I’m going out for an indian meal tonight. I’m vegetarian and on a diet.
Any ideas on what I should order and avoid?

If the restaurant you’re going to has a website,it would be best to check that out. Some sites give nutritional info about their food.
If the place has a website, someone it should mention the nutritional values from each dish. If not then go to the place and ask
well it’s hard to say but you could try:
kuchumber salad,
tarka dahl
aloo ghobi
saffron rice
- avoid the breads or any really thick sauced curries! Indian food is the best!
avoid:
-samosas
-cutlets
-mendu vadas
-pakora
all the above are fried
-halwa (dessert with lots of oils)
-anything with “paneer” in it cuz paneer is a fatty cheese
ask for:
-roti
-naan (ask them not to put oil or butter on it)
-any rice dish or biryani
-vegetable jalfrazi (mixed stir fried vegetables)
-anything with “dal” in it –> dals are cooked lentils rich in protein
-potato chaat –> cooked potatos with flavorful sauces
-chana masala
-aloo gobi
