  • I don't have any WW point information but I did find the following tips on eating Indian food from a BBC newsletter:
    • Bear in mind that plain, boiled rice is a much healthier option than pilau, which is fried in oil. Chapatis or roti bread is likewise a better bread choice, compared to naan (which can be smothered in ghee).
    • Tikka and tandoori chicken are brilliant choices - but without the massala sauce. Tikka means dry-roasted, while tandoori dishes are marinated in spices and yogurt.
    • Dishes to avoid are korma and biryani, because they're covered in cream or oil. Meaty curries tend to have a higher fat content on average.
    • Take advantage of the delicious vegetarian dishes on offer, such as lentil dhal, spicy spinach (saag), and potato and cauliflower curry. And raita (cucumber and yogurt) is the condiment to choose over chutney!

    Hope it's helpful!
  • Thanks so much! I made pretty good choices... didn't overdo it... and will have a very light dinner. All in all, I think I handled the situation fairly well.
