I have a few months to go before surgery but I was curious about if surgery changes the spices you can use. Are there ones the doc says you can't have or is it your choice still?

Ive never heard of such a thing, but i prefer not to use spicy ones out of fear. However, many dietitians tells each of us something different. Go with what youre comfortable with.

You might want to stay away from the really spicy spices e.g. cayenne and jalapenos for a while. There's a lot of healing still going on and ulcers are a possibility. Other than that, I've never heard of any specific spice restrictions either.

Before surgery, I couldn't handle spicy food at all. And im an Indian lol. Now I live on jalapeños and red chilli paste I love it but you may get a bit gassy with spices

Tammy, do you have a good chicken/lamb korma. Recipe? That is one of my fav Indian foods!

Is it possible to do a healthy version of it?

Yup!!!! Just give me 15 mins to jot it down for you. I'm a chef, just ask me for any Indian/morccan/Turkish recipes and I'll try to do a healthy version for you

I agree. But i didnt eat hot sauce at first. Lol

1 onion , chopped

2 garlic cloves , roughly chopped

thumb-sized piece ginger , roughly chopped

4 tbsp korma paste (I can give you the recipe for this too)

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts , cut into bite-sized pieces

50g ground almonds , plus extra to serve (optional)

400ml chicken stock

150g pot 0% fat Greek yogurt

small bunch coriander , chopped

Put the onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor and whizz to a paste. Tip the paste into a large high-sided frying pan with 3 tbsp Water and cook for 5 mins. Add the korma paste and cook for a further 2 mins until aromatic.

Stir the chicken into the sauce, then add the ground almonds, stock. Give everything a good mix, then cover and simmer for 10 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the yogurt and some seasoning, then scatter over the coriander and flaked almonds, if using.

It is usually served with rice, but rotis made with whole meal flour are better

Should have roughly 370 cals per serving with about 42grm of Protein. About 4-5grms of fat.

Tammy that is wonderful!

I think your my new best friend

Are you able to rice at your stage?

My doctors has told me absolutely no rice or bread from here on out. So what are you having with your dishes?

I have never had rotis what's it like?

Is it like naan?

anytime! I have a doc who is awesome! I am allowed to eat anything. I avoid all sugars.. I do eat rice, a tbsp or so and pasta ( the whole wheat kind) about 7-8 pcs but that's occasionally. I don't dump on anything apparently only when I eat too fast it all comes back up.

I have always hated Indian food somehow.. Weird i know lol. But I do eat a roti now and then, specially since my daughter loves them.

I am a big glutton when it comes to crispy fried stuff and bcoz I don't dump, I have to fight hard to avoid it. I'm 3 months and 1 week out, have lost 82 lbs..

Rotis are thin Indian breads and are much healthier than nans. They are rolled thin and the dough is made from flour, oil and salt. Very yum and if you all roll them nice and thin.. You can eat a full roti lol

This is what it looks like

Yup looks delish.

This is what it looks like

Ohhh bread- gasim!!! That looks so yummy! I've never had Indian food, it seems so healthy and full of flavors. Looks kinda complicated to cook.
