London, (DMA Newsdesk): An eatery set up by an Indian entrepreneur in London, which does not use butter, cream or ghee in its preparations and serves fibre-rich meals to its customers, has been adjudged the healthiest UK restaurant by the BBC’s food channel.

“Indali Lounge, London, is the healthiest curry house in the United Kingdom. They don’t use butter, cream or ghee and the naans are made with flour, oats and barley to maximise fibre and minimise starch. Meals are slow-cooked to retain nutrients,” the BBC said.

“The upmarket cocktail bar atmosphere, with lilac flourishes and slick surfaces adds a contemporary touch to this evolved British Indian cooking,” it added.

Bordeaux Quay (Bristol), has been judged number two followed by Saf (London), Heart Buchanan (Glasgow), Pearl Liang (London), New Samsi (Manchester), The Harwood Arms (London), Restaurant Sat Bains (Nottingham), Comptoir Libanais (London) and Terre A Terre (Brighton).

The Indali Lounge is frequented by many celebrities, including cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, Hindi actor-director Dev Anand and the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and his wife Cherie Blair.

Located on bustling Baker Street, the Indali Lounge is already a big hit with London’s healthy eating enthusiasts thanks to its unique approach to Indian cuisine.

The owner, Dr Kartar Lalvani, wanted to provide curry connoisseurs with an alternative to traditional recipes that use heavy, calorific ingredients like ghee, butter and cream.

At Indali, the Chefs use organic produce, probiotic yoghurts and spices with medicinal qualities to create delicious dishes that won’t compromise your waistline. To complement the modern menu, the interior is a sleek and sophisticated blend of dark wood, purple suede and shimmering beaded light fittings. The Indali Lounge also benefits from a separate bar area, complete with an extensive wine and cocktail list.
