Let’s do the terrifying math for a standard "Friday night blowout": one large chicken korma (750), one pilau rice (450), one naan (350), and two poppadoms (120). That’s a whopping 1,670 calories. That’s an entire day’s worth of food for a moderately active woman, gone in 45 minutes. You’ve essentially eaten a Thanksgiving dinner, but with more garlic and cultural confusion. Surprising fact: A survey once found that a single British "curry night" can contain more calories than a full Sunday roast with all the trimmings. The audacity.
But here’s the real punchline: you should still eat it. Life is short, and a good curry is a hug in a bowl. Just maybe skip the naan if you’re planning on wearing trousers the next day. Or, as I like to do, just order the vindaloo and sweat out the guilt. One bite and you won’t care about the numbers anyway. You’ll just be happy. And a little bit spicy.
