Office group-order day: what do you order when everyone picks rich restaurant food?
In many offices the whole team orders from one restaurant—often biryani, paneer-butter, naans or rich curries. If you can't cook lunch but want something filling and protein-rich without sounding picky, what do you actually order? Do you pick kebabs/dal+roti, ask for smaller portions, split a dish, or have another go-to that works for delivery/restaurant meals?

I usually go for a dry/grilled option that still fits the group vibe — tandoori chicken or kebabs + a couple rotis, or paneer tikka if you want veg. If it's only curries on the menu, I ask for dal + roti (or dal + half portion rice) or split a biryani with someone and add a yogurt/raita on the side. Dry items travel better and don’t feel picky, and asking for “less rice” or an extra roti is an easy, low-key swap.

Quick, practical rules and choices: pick a clear protein first (grilled/tandoori kebabs, tandoori chicken/fish, paneer tikka, egg dishes, dal/chole/rajma, soya/tempeh). Add a small plain carb (roti/whole‑wheat instead of naan, or plain rice) and a yoghurt/raita for extra protein and digestion. Ask for gravy/cream/oil “on the side” or “less oil/less cream.” For delivery choose items that travel well (kebabs, tandoori, dal, biryani with meat) or order a protein plate to split. If discreet, order a single extra boiled egg/curd/sprouts bowl as a backup. These swaps keep meals filling and higher in protein without making a fuss.
