Pass on like 90% of the stuff that has fat and sugar. It is not representative of a household Indian meal, but rather of a rare feast.

If you go more regularly, a somewhat healthy meal at an Indian restaurant is:

- The tandoor chicken (not the one in gravy)

- The veggie salads and/or yogurt raita

- Whole wheat rotis if you can find them

- Any of the vegetables that don't have a ton of cream (cauliflower is one that's reliably dry)

I can't pretend that I don't indulge with anything beyond that; but I tend to not be a regular at the Indian restaurants here.




I can’t seem to say no to a bit of gulab jamun. And saag, with or without paneer. How healthy is saag? I tell myself it’s mostly spinach but I know there is milk and milk fat in there usually I think and maybe butter?
