Indian Food and CKD: Tandoori, Dal and the Friendly Side of the Menu

What to know about Indian food with CKD

Indian restaurant cooking layers sodium through the spice blends and salt in the curries, while the grilled end — tandoori, tikka, kebabs — stays moderate. The friendly order is tandoori or grilled protein with dal in moderation and rice or naan, not the curry-drenched plate. The ratings below show which Indian staples stay manageable.

How to order at an Indian restaurant

Choose tandoori chicken or fish, dal in a small portion, steamed rice and naan over fried breads. Ask for curries with reduced salt, keep the raita on the side, and measure the chutney — the condiments carry concentrated sodium.

Practical tips

• Naan over fried breads — the baked version adds less fat and sodium.
• Raita on the side and chutney measured — the condiments carry concentrated sodium.
