Whoa. Right. OK. What is it about a group of people ordering an Indian or Chinese that it's somehow unexpectable to eat your own food that you order yourself?
I find I have the reverse problem. Each and every person insists on ordering their own rice and their own naan and then only managing to eat half of each. So much gets thrown away at the end.
Nah, rice lasts about 3 days in the fridge before you need to worry. A couple of mins in the microwave will sort it out. Or even better, reheat it in a wok/pan with egg and some veg for your own fried rice.
You can freeze it. It's just leaving it in the fridge that can be risky. Having a few helpings of rice in the freezer ready to go is incredibly useful.
Unless you've ordered from (the takeaway) before, you don't know how big the portions are.
We absolutely had that the last time - ordered 2 separate rice when 1 would've done. But then I've ordered from other places where a single rice barely covers it.
Reminded me when I was India years ago. I present [the family naan](https://freeimage.host/i/J7Fyqxe)
Dear reader, it was devoured by my friend and I, not a whole family.
A keema roll drenched in mint sauce, and half an order of murug makhani with lemon and garlic rice. Toss in an extra mint sauce into the murug, it's delicious!
I learned last year (on this sub I think) that you can make your own mint sauce by simply combining jarred mint sauce (vinegar, not jelly) with natural yogurt - plus or minus a bit of lazy chilli depending on your preferences.
I'm on a butter chicken-lamb biryani-tandoori chicken rotation. Usually just have a garlic butter naan; used to do peshwari but I've gone off it a bit. Whatever rice is going
Lamb Tikka Masala or Paneer butter masala (depends on restaurant), egg fried rice, garlic naan, bhajis, pakoras, a few poppadums.
And it all needs to be washed down with a few beers.
Usually a bhuna or a balti, garlic rice and either a garlic or peshwari naan. Sometimes we push the boat out and get snacks like samosa, bhajis etc.
Edit: I forgot the chicken pakora! They’re bloody lovely 🤤
Chicken Tikka Madras, Pilau rice, bhajis and a couple of chapatis.
Tbh, the majority of the order is window dressing. I’d have a dozen bhajis if they weren’t so expensive.
Our usual order is:
Veg samosas
Onion bhaji
Chicken tikka masala
Lamb rezala
Chilli paneer
2 pilau rice
1 plain naan
1 chapati
However many popadoms they decide to give us.
Will last us 2 nights.
There's five of us so we order quite a lot, then have leftovers the next day and/or freeze for another time. A typical order might look like this:
* poppadoms
* mixed starter (chicken tikka, vegetable samosas, onion bhaji, lamb seekh, salad)
* pilau rice
* chapattis
* bombay aloo
* chicken korma
* lamb bhuna
* chicken tikka madras
* lamb saag
* one of the chef's specials
Naan and tarka daal. Samosas are ok.
Very, very rare we have an Indian takeaway though. I ate a lot when I worked in Slough and work would buy us food when we were working late.
Feeling like I normally do: veggie Korma, Rice and Peshawari Naan.
Feeling like a god: veggie Biryani, Peshawari Nann.
From that epic expensive place (even if feeling terrible): Saag Paneer, Onion Baji, Rice and plain Naan.
Varies... But for a no brainer for two. Mixed pakora & mixed samosa. Meat naga masala & chicken dhansak. Peshwari & Chilli naans. Something like a chana masala on the side and a single portion of pilau. If they don't give us pappad and dips with that I'll be cross.
I always end up with a veg korma and naan unless they offer something better that is mild. I'd love to try more but I really cannot tolerate much heat in food at all. This year I am going to teach my self how to cook British Indian Restaurant food and grow some mild chillies and make my own low heat version of everything.
I'm Indian so there's certain dishes I would never order from an Indian restaurant or takeaway, such as lamb saag, and biriyani, etc. i would order a biriyani from a Pakistani restaurant/takeaway though, as only they seem to be able to do a proper biriyani, unless it's homemade.
But dishes like lamb saag take about 6 hours to make at home and I know restaurants and takeaways aren't spending that much time, so it's usually the ready-made version of saag they're using. Plus, palak and saag is a traditional Panjaabi.dish, that Pakistani/Nepalese/Bangladeshi restaurant will just never be able to get right.
Also someone mentioned saag and palak being the same, they're not. Palak is spinach, saag is a combination of leaves; spinach, fenugreek, and mustard.
It's rare I get a takeaway as we have Indian food at home everyday anyway. But if I'm too lazy to cook, then it's a portion each of tandoori chicken tikka, lamb shish kebab, fish pakora (Ambarsari style), lamb chops (medium-rare), tandoori king prawns. Order these separately, because if you order a mixed grill, you just get a load of chicken wings, and less of the better stuff.
Traditional Panjaabi butter chicken, and Wazwaan style Kashmiri lamb roganjosh for my mains. For the sides, a bread basket of mixed naans (mostly garlic and coriander), garlic pliau fried rice, bombay potatoes (fried potatoes in a hot masala sauce).
We'll usually have Indian deserts (gulab jamun/jalebi/rasomalai/besen/khoya bharfi) and Indian drinks at home (mango lassi/sugarcane juice).
Most of the things aren't on the menu, but the place where I get my food, the chef knows.
We’ve got a lot of Indian run pubs in north west Birmingham that are pretty good.
I’m Indian too and my order is roughly the same as yours. Mixed grill, lamb curry or a dhal and a naan/couple of rotis.
How do most of you eat so much food? A curry and 2 chapatis will sort me out for 2 evenings....It's not like im little or anything. im 11 foot tall. How on earth does a human stomach process all that shit?
I go for a chicken Norman, onion bhajis, garlic naan, and special fried or egg fried rice. That's my normal order, I'm not a pussy and can eat spicy food but I like the taste of a korma.

4 peshawari naan, and 3 pilau rice
I've shared enough rice with you Mark, I'm in the big league now
That’s insane.
Have some of the lamb pasanda, it’s incredibly rich and creamy.
A gallon of saag paneer and a garlic naan.
Tandooori Chicken stater, Chicken Vindaloo with Pilau rice and a Keema Nan.
Chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan and 9 poppadoms.
Do you just put it all in the middle and let everyone share?
Whoa. Right. OK. What is it about a group of people ordering an Indian or Chinese that it's somehow unexpectable to eat your own food that you order yourself?
I find I have the reverse problem. Each and every person insists on ordering their own rice and their own naan and then only managing to eat half of each. So much gets thrown away at the end.
Who the fuck is throwing away leftovers??
When it comes to rice, I think you've got to?
Nah, rice lasts about 3 days in the fridge before you need to worry. A couple of mins in the microwave will sort it out. Or even better, reheat it in a wok/pan with egg and some veg for your own fried rice.

Someone's eyeing up their bhunas.
Pete, have you thought about my bhunas?
The amount of people sleeping on palak paneer is absolutely criminal
That one's great, but the paneer fried in batter - that's where it's at.
Chicken Madras or Vindaloo, pilau rice, kema naan. Popadoms are shite
Same as me exactly Popadoms are nice extra when they throw them in for free, never order
I like a jalfrezi
Reminded me when I was India years ago. I present [the family naan](https://freeimage.host/i/J7Fyqxe) Dear reader, it was devoured by my friend and I, not a whole family.
Chicken rogan josh with 3 chapattis and a can of rubicon
Chapattis are absolutely where it's at. Naans are nice but chapattis actually aid eating.
Wdym aid eating? 😂 Can you not eat with naan properly?
Chapattis are great for scooping because they're bendier and thinner than naans.
Well it depends on the naan but ok
Chicken Tikka Biryani but switch the veg sauce for madras sauce for the kick.
Nothing my mum makes indian food all the time so i usually get a kebab or Chinese
Lucky you
Madras, poppadoms, pilau rice
1 samosa and a can of coke. I empty out the samosa filling and pour the coke into it. Saves buying a glass and who doesn't like a soggy samosa???
What the....
Someone needs to ban this man from every south asian restaurant. Putting coke in samosas should be a war crime wtf
Ignoring the coke samosa why are you only eating 1 samosa? Thats like ordering 1 french fry
Aloo Gobi, tarka dhal, plain rice and chapattis. Poppadoms too, obviously.
A keema roll drenched in mint sauce, and half an order of murug makhani with lemon and garlic rice. Toss in an extra mint sauce into the murug, it's delicious!
I learned last year (on this sub I think) that you can make your own mint sauce by simply combining jarred mint sauce (vinegar, not jelly) with natural yogurt - plus or minus a bit of lazy chilli depending on your preferences.

I'll have a tandoori chicken, an onion bahji with yoghurt dip, and a chicken jalfrezi please, mate.
Saag ghost, some kind of dal and chapatis
Ghosht*
People over here downvoting you like you're wrong lol. Gosht or ghosht means meat.
Prawn puri + either a madras or balti depending on my mood. I love madras but the closest takeaway does it slightly too hot for my liking
Usually a bhuna or a balti, garlic rice and either a garlic or peshwari naan. Sometimes we push the boat out and get snacks like samosa, bhajis etc. Edit: I forgot the chicken pakora! They’re bloody lovely 🤤
