Navigating Indian Menus Safely with Gallstones: Your Essential Guide
Dining out with gallstones can feel overwhelming, especially with the rich flavors of Indian cuisine. Fatty foods may trigger painful gallbladder attacks, but that doesn't mean you must skip the curry! Understanding your gallstone dietary restrictions—low-fat, high-fiber, and avoiding rich sauces—is crucial. Indian restaurants offer many seemingly healthy dishes, but hidden dangers lurk: creamy gravies made with ghee (clarified butter), fried appetizers like samosas, coconut milk-based curries, and oil-heavy biryanis.
Gallstone-Friendly Indian Dining Tips:
- Choose tomato-based curries (e.g., chicken tikka masala) over cream-heavy kormas
- Opt for tandoori grilled meats without marinades
- Steer clear of pakoras, puris, and dishes labeled "fried"
- Request steamed rice instead of biryani
- Avoid paneer (cheese) and malai (cream) preparations
