Indian food?

Hey all! Quick question.  My H and I are visiting family this weekend, and we'll be hitting up an Indian buffet that is an in-law family favorite.  Is Indian food okay to eat, and is there anything I should avoid? I tried googling but it wasn't the most definitive thing...thanks! :)

    I love Indian food and have eaten it several times PG with no issues. One thing you may want to watch is paneer - it's a soft Indian cheese. I have eaten it PG but if you're avoiding soft cheese you may want to watch for that.

    Paneer was the only thing I could think of that you might choose to avoid.

    Sweet! I'm excited.  It's funny because the last time I was there I was newly pregnant (like not even 100% sure I was) and I LOVED it like I had loved nothing else before.  I mean, it was always decent, but man...so maybe my body loves it during pregnancy, haha.

    It's also weird that I went out for veggie sushi this past weekend and although sushi is one of my all-time faves, my body did NOT like that one.  So I guess stuff changes! :)

    Sure, Indians eat it all the time, they just call it "food"! :)

    If its not the most culturally familiar genre of food for you, just stick to what agreed with you pre-pregnancy. If you ate lots of it and had a high tolerance for spice, coconut, etc, you should be fine doing the same thing now - and vice versa.

    I eat tons of Indian food.  I usually order mattar paneer- never even thought about the soft cheese thing, but since it's served cooked, I doubt even that would be a problem.

    Seeing as how thousands of babies are born in India each day, Indian cuisine is just fine. As with any meal, apply standard common sense: make sure it's fresh, thoroughly cooked, clean, etc.

    i'd be more concerned about the germ buffet than the type of food in this instance.

    This Indian food fanatic is totally jealous!  Eat a piece of naan for me, ok?  :)
