Recipe Preparation
This is (roughly) a Tamil recipe from a cookbook that I bought in
Bangalore, called a Cook's Tour of South India. I doubt it's available
here. Fatfree- ized only by the deletion of 1/4 c. of oil.
Simmer 2 c. of small red lentils in about 5 c. water while you are
doing everything else.
In a separate, large pot, dry pop (like making popcorn, over med
heat):
2 T. black mustard seeds
Add to the pot:
5 medium to large yams, peeled and cut into 1" cubes enough water to
cover the yams by about 1/2" 1 T. turmeric 2 T. tamarind concentrate,
blended with water so it dissolves easily in the pot (ever bite a
lump of tamarind concentrate?) 1 t. (or more) compounded asafoetida 1
T. (optional) finely ground dried coconut, microwaved with 1/2 c.
rice milk
Simmer yams until soft but not falling apart. When lentils are soft
(takes about 1/2 hr if you got the right kind) drain off any water
you can and add lentils to the yam pot. Stir and cook, adding more
water if mixture is too thick (texture of a thick soup is good,
texture of refried beans is 'too thick'). Then add:
1/2 c. fresh cilantro a handful of fresh or dried curry leaves salt to
taste *fresh chili paste to taste *2 T.-1/4 c. chickpea (gram or
besan) flour, mixed with water and gradually thinned to avoid lumps.
Dribble into the soup while stirring.
The chickpea flour replaces hand-ground chickpeas or mung beans, which
thicken the stew, making the sauce more 'gravylike'. Yum. Also, using
the red chili paste (a violently hot vietnamese concoction with
citric acid added to fresh ground chilies) improves the taste. Yum.
Yam.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Your body requires water , it is crucial for our body's health and has no fat. It is also good in that it fills the drinker's belly and decreases feelings of emptiness. The recommended portions physicians claim that we should aim to drink as much as six cups of water every 24 hours.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Dietary fiber is essential Lowering the carbohydrates in your diet often leads to reduction in fiber as well. Look for reduced carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to redress this.
* Eat regular meals Most reduced carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbohydrates. Your body requires energy, and carbs are a very efficient energy source. A reduced carb diet needs more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy contributed by fat or protein is much slower acting.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes carrots, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green healthy plants contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought to help in helping stop cancer, spefically cancer of the esophagus. A good number are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
