Let's face it, takeaways aren't renowned for being healthy. But if you're watching what you eat, you don't have to skip takeaways completely. Choose your meals carefully, such as those from our Healthier Choice range, and you can treat yourself without piling on the pounds.
healthy takeaway eating tips:
avoid creamy curries
Avoid the creamier curries like the korma and massalla, delicious as they are - they contain full fat cream and sugar. Go for the drier curries such the bhuna or rogan josh, or even better the saag which contains a helping of spinach.
order a vegetable side dish
Help meet your five a day target with one of our delicious vegetable side dishes.
go for boiled rice
Pilau rice is cooked with oil and spices but boiled rice is just that, fragrant basmati rice boiled in water, nothing else is added. Basmati rice is also one of the healthiest varieties of rice not to mention the tastiest too!
choose chappatis
Chappatis are made from wheat flour and don't contain any fat, an ideal alternative to nan breads.
tandoori treats
Spoil yourself with anything from the tandoori section. Everything cooked in the tandoori is grilled and contains minimal fat, tandoori meats such as chicken tikka are made from 100% lean chicken breast making it the ideal option if you're being careful about what you eat.
ask for extra salad
We'll be more than happy to include extra salad portions free of charge with any full meal, just let us know when you place your order.
walk it off
If you live nearby, instead of telephoning your order, why not walk it to our takeaway and burn off some calories.
