4 Healthy Indian Food Options You’ll Surely Enjoy

If you enjoy savoury and spicy food packed with flavour and nutrients, then you probably enjoy going to your local London curry house for a nice, warm serving of your favourite curry dishes. But for the more health-conscious individuals, you can try other healthy Indian food options out there. Here are some of them:

Tandoori Chicken

If you like a good serving of tikka masala, but want to stay on the healthier side of the menu, then Tandoori Chicken is the best option for you. This is practically masala mixed with some yoghurt, which is one of the best superfoods you can eat! Tandoori Chicken is one of the most flavourful chicken dishes you could ever find in an Indian restaurant. 

The reason for that is because it’s cooked in a traditional clay oven, called a tandoor, which seals in the flavour of the masala, the yoghurt, and all the other spices. You get all that protein goodness without the excess fat. If you’re looking for a tasty, calorie-rich dish, this is the one for you.

Saag Paneer

When it comes to eating healthy, Saag Paneer ranks one of the highest because of its main ingredient: spinach. As you all know, spinach is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. However, it may only rank second to other healthier dishes because of the inclusion of cheese. A little bit of cheese wouldn’t hurt you, and a single serving of Saag Paneer would be just right for you. Saag Paneer packs quite a lot of nutrients, but be sure to watch out for the cheese.

Vegetable Bhuna

If you’re starting to shift into a vegetarian diet, but you can’t get enough of curry, then Vegetable Bhuna is the perfect dish for you! While people always question Bhuna if it’s actually an authentic curry since technically, Bhuna is the name for the style of cooking, it’s quite good if you put some curry sauce in it. In fact, it’s become quite a popular dish in the UK and has even become a staple in almost every London curry house and restaurant.

Bhuna isn’t traditionally a vegetarian dish as it’s usually cooked with meat and fish. However, since many people in the UK love it better with just veggies, it became quite the favourite dish of many. Just be sure to check with the restaurant if they serve it with or without meat.

Baked Veggie Samosas

Here’s another favourite dish, not just because of its flavour, but because of what it is. Samosas are fried or baked pastries that come with a variety of fillings. While it is often fried, making it less of a healthy option than you would expect, it’s still quite healthy when it’s filled with a lot of plant-based options. Most restaurants put onions, carrots, peas, and potatoes in it to make you feel less guilty when eating it. If you’re still worried about the trans fats due to them being fried, you can always opt for the baked version for a healthier version.

Conclusion

Indian food has always been the preferred choice of many Londoners who like food that packs a punch when it comes to flavour. But with these healthier versions of Indian dishes, you can enjoy everything guilt-free!
