If I phone the Indian and order a Dansak and Rice, is the portion I receive a "single" portion or is it normally looked on as a meal for two????

Of course I have mate, but was having this discussion with my Missus this morning.
When you go for a sit down in an Indian, the portions you receive are nowhere near the size you get in a takeaway container.
Rice, for instance. Twice as much in a takeaway container as there is on my side dish in the restaurant.
I opened a pkt of rice last night which said "serves two" but there was hardly enough for me, let alone two people.
She said that the standard portion is a lot smaller than I usually eat.
I don't consider I eat a lot.

If me and the missus were getting an Indian, we'd get one rice, main, a naan each sometimes we also get Bombay potatoes that is more than enough to fill us.
If we're feeling hungry we'll get a take away each, with naan and there's always a little left over for a second meal.

I can't manage a whole Dansak and rice as a takeway nowadays.
Can eat it all in the restaurant though.

Sorry, have I walked into a slimming world conversation or a 12 year old tea party?.........it's meat and rice, shovel it down (breathing and chewing are optional) :ears:
I'm assuming that food challenges aren't up your street?

Maybe in a restaurant the portion size is based on the probability of you having a starter as well. Takeaways are more likely to be one course only. No basis for this, just a thought.

Depends, what kind of rice?

I don't think there is any great thought put into it. You just get a container full of what ever you order.

It's an Indian, how come you were sober enough to notice the portion size.

Its the 'ambiance'...
When drinking beer, at home, two pints does me plenty...
Yet, when down the pub, a gallon [with chasers] is easily done...
And, NO I don't get behind the wheel to get home....
That's what my freedom pass is for!

My mates got one of those - I presume you mean bus pass - so funny when the bus driver told him they don't work after 2300 hrs.

Aah! Marital bliss - discussing Indian takeaways as soon as you are awake.
