An Example of a traditional Menu in an Indian Restaurant.   Appetisers and Starters   Samosas (Fried Patties Stuffed with Lamb and Vegetables) Pakoras (Onion, Potato, Chicken or Vegetable-Stuffed Fritters) Assortment of Naans (Leavened Flat Breads Baked in the Tandoor Oven) Baingan Bharta (Curried Eggplant Puree) Served with Chappatis (Unleavened Bread) Pappadum (Baked Spiced Lentil Wafers) Jhinga Tikka (Shrimp Patties) Green Salad with House Dressing and Raita (Yogurt-Cucumber Dip/Salad) Lentil Soup Many of the appetizers are fried, so be careful when ordering. Many of the dressings and sauces in Indian cooking are yogurt based and work well in a low fat diet. It is always a good idea to ask before ordering. Green house salad with light house dressing and Raita with Cucumber is a good choice. Lentil Soup and Naan would be a good choice for more balance (less fat, more vegetable protein and fiber)
