Low Cal Chicken Curry Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
LOW FAT COCONUT MILK
18 oz non fat plain yogurt
8 oz non fat milk
2 packets equal sweetener
2 tsp imitation coconut extract
CURRY
3 cup low fat coconut milk
1 tbsp thai red curry base
1 lb cubed chicken
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tomato, diced
3 scallions, diced
2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 yellow pepper, diced
2 tsp thai garlic chili sauce
1 fresh sweet basil
Recipe
Preparation
This recipe is the same as my recipe for Chicken Curry except that
since the coconut milk is so high in fat I decided to try to come up
with a substitute. This is the resulting formulation. It turns out
to be a very good substitute and the only thing I found needed to be
changed is that this recipe required quite a bit of stirring at the
beginning to keep the yogurt from coming out of suspension when the
cold or room temperature chicken is added. Combine the yogurt and
milk in a blender bowl and process until well mixed. Add the Equal
sweetener and pulse blender to mix. Add the artificial coconut
extract to the mixture and adjust to taste if necessary. In a large
saucepan, combine coconut milk with curry base over medium heat until
oil appears on top. Add chicken, seasoning sauce, lemon juice and
simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining
ingredients except mushrooms and garlic chili sauce. Cover and simmer
for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic chili sauce to taste. Cover
and simmer 2 minutes. Serve hot over rice. Garnish with sprigs of
fresh sweet basil. From: Syd's Cookbook.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The argument against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Remember, one point that is frequently overlooked, it is extremely hard (although certainly not impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a low carb diet.
Many scientific studies over the last few years have proved that exessive consumption of animal fat can lead to higher probability of cancer, coronary problems and other serious illnesses.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, asparagus, soy & thyme)
The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these fruits and vegetables are thought to have properties as cancer fighters.
Doctors looking into the medical effects of flavonoids believe they could also have numerous healthy properties, amongst them, anti-viral and antioxidant powers.
A good number are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet system.
