Bring restaurant vibes to your home with a tasty takeaway!

If you're treating yourself to Indian food, check out our handy tips below to stay on track with your Points budget.

If you like the look of the dish in the image above, here's the recipe.

You can't go wrong with a tandoori! Meats are traditionally marinated in spices and yoghurt for up to 24 hours, delivering amazing flavour and moistness. Whether you choose chicken, fish or meat, this is a top choice for a tasty and Points-friendly takeaway.

If you really fancy a creamy curry, sometimes just a taste can be enough. Enjoy a small spoonful if your loved ones are willing to share - that way, you can incorporate additional flavours into your meal, all while staying on track. If you love a korma but you're low on Points, this WW version takes just 15 minutes to prep and half an hour to cook.

Naan, the most popular bread in Indian restaurants, can easily measure 10 inches across and comes brushed with ghee (clarified butter) and garlic. Having one is like eating an entire personal pizza crust! Save on Points and try roti instead. Unlike naan bread, roti (also known as chapati) is unleavened and is available in white or whole grain. Made in a frying pan, it closely resembles a wholewheat tortilla.

The pakora, samosa and bhaji families of small bites all indicate deep-frying. Our advice? Go easy on portions here if you’re looking to cut back on Points values. Or, request an appetiser of flavoursome lentil soup instead.

Chutneys are key condiments in Indian cuisine, and you usually get two choices - red or green. If you can handle the spice, the green chutney is the best choice. Made with mint, coriander and spicy chillies, this herbal and fiery condiment brings big flavour. Sweet red chutney, on the other hand, is loaded with fruit sugars from tamarind, dates or mango, meaning it's higher in Points.

Raita is a cooling condiment of yoghurt, cucumber, and coriander flavoured with cumin and other spices. While the yoghurt is generally of the whole-milk variety, a serving of raita is generally low in Points. To quell the burning from a hot spice, a spoonful is a much better solution than rice and bread.
