going for an indian on sw

Sad times for me tomorrow (ahem) i'm being 'forced' to go out to the indian restaurant for a meal as it's my sister's bday. unkeen on one hand cos i have soooo much weight to lose for wedding, i got an undeserved gain last week due to fluid retention and this week i'm on for a 4lb loss but the weigh in is tuesday and said indian is monday!!

good news though - according to my syn section i can have a chicken tikka massala for 14.5 syns and a pilau rice for 2.5 on extra easy!!! niiiice. just steering clear of starter and naan bread should limit any potential disaster but i reckon it will still impact on this weeks loss though. ah well sacrifices weh.

    I went on Sat - Hubby forced me too! lol

    but I had no syns during the day and had

    1 poppadom - 4 syns

    boiled rice - free on EE

    Lamb Rogan Josh - 6.5 syns!

    I was extremely pleased with myself - the massala has loads of cream so is high - but you will still be in syns. Can you have boiled/plain rice instead and save another 2.5 syns???

    Tandoori chicken tikka and boiled rice is free on EE I think, then you can have a starter if you want.

    I really would advise staying away from the masalla sauce. It is soooooo bad for you.

    I'd just stick to tandoori chicken.

    Aw pants, there was me thinking I was being good!

    Right whats tandoori chicken? or Rogan Josh.

    I've never really had anything other than a korma / massala before so I'm quite uneducated in indian food. I don't do too spicy...

    Tandoori is like barbecued chicken, not in a sauce but marinated in yummy spice:

    Vix do you like tomato/onion based sauces?? rogan josh is that and not spicy but the tandori would probably be best

    either a tandori or shashlick (dry)

    massala and korma are really bad

    Ooo errr

    so I've looked at the synage online and Tandoori chicken is better at 9 syns but I do like a sauce...I'm not a big rice fan unless there's sauce.

    Here's my findings



    I'm tempted by chicken kashmiri as I've actually had that before but again it was creamy. 9 syns not bad though, but might go for rogan josh and stay away from cream but then for all the difference in syns does it really make a difference?

    ETA sorry pics aren't great. Kashmiri comes out at 9.5, rogan is 6.5 and tandoori chicken 9, whereas massala is up at 14.5

    I wonder why Tandoori is 9? It should be free as it's just grilled chicken and spices. The only thing I can think is that they are thinking of it as chicken legs etc with the skin on rather than skinless chicken breast? If you have the tandoori chicken pieces, I am reasonably confident they are free and definitely not 9 syns!

    Been thinking about this panj. am thinking there must be oils of some kind involved in the marinade. or the chance that there will be.

    Its likely to be in the yoghurt of the marinade
