Recipe
Preparation
1. Heat 2tb oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the potatoes until
they turn medium brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon
and set aside. (Omit this step for a lower-fat dish.)
2. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat over medium low heat.
Fry bay leaf, red chili, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves for a few
seconds. Add onion and fry until richly browned but not burnt, 18 to
20 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Stir in ginger, garlic, green chili, turmeric, cumin, and sugar.
Add meat and water. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.
Add the potatoes and simmer, covered, until both meat and potatoes
are tender, about 30 more minutes. Turn heat very low. Blend in
yogurt, nuts, and salt and remove from heat. (Prolonged heating will
curdle the sauce, detracting from its appearance and texture.) Stir
in garam masala. Decorate with onion rings and cilantro.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make low carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Although you can possibly buy low carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a baking tray. Once it is hard, grind it up in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
* Don't skip meals
Most reduced carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbs are a fast acting energy source. A reduced carbohydrate diet needs more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy given by protein and fat is much slower acting.
Lycopene foods
(includes melon, red peppers and tomato puree)
The chemical lypcopene is a natural coloring compound and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the agent responsible for the vivid red hue of a good number of fruits and vegetables.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutrients, lycopene not only survives being cooked, but is essentially strengthened by cooking.
.
Its most important benefit is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most powerful fighter of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It is also believed to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis.
