Happy anniversary. Your meal sounds delicious. I love Indian and
Middle Eastern food, so this sounds right up my alley.

As far as your carb indulgences go...regularly, are you in ketosis? I
mean, when you're not cheating? Reason I ask, is that this meal is
going to kick you out of ketosis, regardless of the amount of high
carb stuff you eat. That one piece of bread, or that meat & potato
pastry thing will do it. So, if it were me, I'd just eat whatever the
heck I wanted for your special meal and jump back on the wagon the
next morning. The diet I used to follow had one "cheat hour" a week.
It would kick me out of ketosis, but I'd be back in within 36-48
hours. I say go for it, and enjoy the cuisine as it was intended to be
eaten...over rice, with bread to soak up the yummy sauces...whatever.
