Good Indian food choices?



Recommended Posts

I'm so far from eating out at an Indian place that it's crazy, but the recent thread on sushi that gave me hope for the future :) made me think of another type of food I love, Indian!

Any tips or suggestions for good, sleeve-friendly Indian dishes when I get to that point sometime?

Tikki masala. It's basically yougurt spices and chicken. Also Tandorri chicken. You should be able to eat practiacally any of the yourgurt based dips also. Just be careful with eating the rice and naan, they are carb fillers and will fill you up far too fast. I love Indian food also and have had it since the sleeve ;)

For you ladies that are from India...I know I shouldn't be asking this...but can you tell me the secret/recipe for making naan?!? Everytime I make it, it turns out too puffy and chewy! I can't get it it flat enough! Also, I would LOVE a good masala and tandorri marinade recipe. I have tried to make my own Garam also, as all the garam pre mixes here taste horrible, but I'm just not getting it right :(

Dal is good. Anything with seafood is fantastic for me, like a Goan prawn curry. I have to watch chicken curries, a couple of times it's been made with breast and even though there's been plenty of sauce the chicken has been dry.

Thank you! I'm not sure I'm a good enough cook to make any of it, but I love saag paneer, chicken vindaloo, tikka masala, really almost anything!

Oh, love love love the exotic flavors and aromas from Indian food. I wish I were Indian for a moment. So good! We sometimes go to Indian buffet on Sunday for lunch and I eat a few bites of my wife's plate. The owner is really good about that because we have been customers for years. They are best Indian in WA, which is saying a lot. I really like chicken tikka, chicken Marsala and some of the veggie curries. Mmmmm, my mouth waters just writing about it.

Slightly off topic, but we also love thai food for the same reasons. Chicken satay is always a favorite and the perfect size for a meal. Lately I have grown to really like chicken over steamed spinach with a little peanut sauce. I used to be a big fan of pud thai noodle and wide egg noodle dishes and would not try other things on the menu pre sleeve. The inability to eat noodle dishes has really opened up the rest of the menu to me. Mmmmm.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
