Indian food - what to eat??

[RaspberryBeetle]

I will be eating lunch at an Indian restaurant today. Is there anything induction friendly?

Read the food descriptions on the menu. And ask the waiter about them.

Some kebabs are okay---depending on how they make them. The Indian restaurant near me, just skewers the meat and adds spices. Tandoori is okay too--usually. Some curries are okay, but again, it depends how that restaurant prepares it.

For veggies, my local restaurant offers a green tossed salad and a few vegetable stews are contain Induction acceptable vegetables. (Be sure to print the pocket-sized Acceptable Foods list and bring it with you)

And of course, avoid the breads, the desserts, dishes with non-Induction ingredients.

Thank you, that helps me tremendously. They do offer meat and seafood on skewers. I'm ready to eat!

I went to the Indian restaurant. It was great. I ordered a tandoori platter that had tandoori chicken, tandoori lamb, and tandoori prawns. It was awesome, and I could tell that it was not laden with any type of sugar. It is marinated in spiced yogurt and baked in a fire clay oven. I didn't touch the basmati rice that came with it. I should have told them not to bring it out since it went to waste. ( I hate wasting food like that).

Being insulin resistant, I am still very sensitive to the least amount of carbs, but 2 hours later - blood sugar was an awesome 106 and ketostix was as dark purple as it has been since I've been in induction. Must be something in the yogurt and spices! LOL

I had indian buffet for lunch today.
Chicken , salad, broccolli and cauliflower.
Really good.
It was spicy , I don't think there was a lot of sugar in the sauces, but I really don't know cause I did not cook it.

Does Indian contain a lot of sugar?
