When menus have no nutrition info, what's one simple rule you use to order at Indian restaurants?
You’re eating out regularly but can’t see calories or ask for big changes — just the menu on the table (thalis, biryani, curries, kebabs, sweets). What’s one short rule or heuristic you use to keep the meal reasonable without being strict? (Examples welcome: swap naan for roti, pick a grilled starter + dal, share dessert, ask for rice on the side.)

Use a simple plate rule: aim for half the plate veg/salad, one quarter protein (grilled kebab, dal, fish) and one quarter carbs (one roti or a small serving of rice). Ask for gravies/sauces on the side, avoid fried or cream-heavy mains, and share starters or dessert. It’s an easy way to control portions and energy density without strict changes.
