Dieting and going out for an Indian

Don't laugh at me now!! But I'm planning on going to an Indian restaurant on Friday and as I'm trying to lose a bit of weight, or at least maintain this week, I want to try and curb my eating.
I'm thinking Korma's are a big no-no, and I won't have a naan either - I'm just not sure what other options are viable? Oven cooked chicken tikka with as little oil as poss - with boiled rice.
And perhaps a shared sag aloo and a couple of small glasses of Rose.
Do-able?

Think again before you order 'extras' - poppadoms, samosas and bhajis are loaded with saturated fat. Try dishes baked in the Tandoor oven, like chicken tikka, tandoori or shashlik that come without a sauce. Avoid creamy sauces like chicken tikka masala, which contains a huge 47g of fat, according to Health Which?, and rich passandas and kormas. "It's not the meat, it's the sauces that are the problem," says Jill Franks. "Go for something tomato-based or with vegetables, like a rogan josh, and eat it with brown rice."
Indian breads are another fat trap. "Naan bread is full of refined sugar, and fruity peshwari naan is even worse with added coconut. If you have to have a naan have just a small piece or order it instead of rice," says Jill Franks.
Danger words: korma, chicken tikka masala, poppadoms

Can you get hold of the menu before hand to plan what you will have? It might help stop you getting overcome with food lust on the night and just eating everything
If you ask nicely they might knock up some low fat foods for you
The weight will come off with hard work and determination over time, one meal isnt going to change that.
You could just eat extra extra healthy throughout the day and up your excercise for that day and the next.
Let us know what you have in the end
Word Tim. Not as daft as you look
No point in denying yourself treats, just eat whatever you like and make sure you enjoy it.
Just dont go eating it every day and do some exercise and things will be fine. :thumb:
I'm very much looking forward to it
have a great birthday-i know I will. have booked in to have day off work, and having massive tattoo done-much better than sitting and home and brooding coz am turning 30!

Meant I got to drink too
I went out for lunch and dinner (thurs and sat respectively) so this week I'm just hoping to maintain the loss...I don't think I'll lose this week. I just don't want to gain!!
Need to burn it off though!
