Recent research shows moderate beer drinking may rid the body of the bacteria which cause stomach ulcers.2 Swap your pilau rice for boiled rice and save 280 calories. That’s a 45-minute walk.
3 You could save another 300 calories by ditching a naan for a chapatti.
4 At the curry house go steady on the chutneys. Each spoonful can pack about 70 calories.
5 Bhunas and vindaloos, as well as dry dishes such as tandoori, are a good bet if you want to slash the fat content of curry sauce.
6 Remember that takeaway curries usually contain more calories and fat than ready meals at the supermarket.
A Which? survey found the average takeaway chicken tikka masala contains 1,338 calories.
You would need to play football for two hours to work that off.
7 Prawn and vegetable curries tend to be lower in fat than lamb or beef ones.
8 Rogan Josh tends to be the leanest of the lamb-based meals, while chicken jalfrezi contains peppers and tomatoes. The vitamin C in these is a great immune booster.9 A Lassi makes a good, filling alternative to lager and contains calcium – good for your bones.
10 Make your supermarket curry sauce go further and slash the fat by adding a dollop of low-fat yoghurt.
