Low-FODMAP Dining Made Easy: Your Indian Restaurant Survival Guide

Indian cuisine's vibrant curries and aromatic spices can feel off-limits when following a Low-FODMAP diet. Dishes often rely on high-FODMAP ingredients like onion, garlic, lentils, and certain dairy – triggering digestive discomfort. But abandoning your favorite curry house isn't necessary! With smart strategies and mm food app, you can confidently enjoy Indian flavors.

Common High-FODMAP Traps in Indian Cuisine

  • Onion & Garlic: Fundamental base for most gravies and marinades
  • Legumes: Dal (lentils), chana (chickpeas), rajma (kidney beans)
  • Dairy: Paneer (cheese), yogurt-based marinades, creamy sauces
  • Vegetables: Cauliflower, mushrooms, peas, and snow peas
  • Flours: Wheat-based naans and roti for fructans-sensitive individuals

How mm food App Becomes Your Dining Ally

Navigate Indian menus effortlessly with these features:

  1. Menu Translation Photograph any menu for instant translation to your language, eliminating ingredient guesswork
  2. AI-Powered Safety Check Set "Low-FODMAP" in your dietary profile. Our AI scans dishes and flags: ✅ Safe: Tandoori meats (dry-spice rubs), plain steamed rice, cucumber raita (lactose-free) ⚠️ Modify: Curry with "no onion/garlic base" request, saag paneer with spinach only ❌ Avoid: Dishes with onion gravy, lentil-based dhals, chaat snacks
  3. Custom Restriction Support Add personalized limits like "no garlic-infused oils" or "low-lactose"

Practical Ordering Strategies

  • Start Simple: Opt for grilled proteins like chicken tikka or fish seekh kebabs
  • Sauce Wisely: Choose tomato-based curries over creamy options; request onion/garlic-free
