Curry In A Hurry Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb shrimp or boneless, skinless chicke, n breasts
2 1/2 tbsp oil
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp red chili powder or cayenne pepper
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 can crushed or whole skinless tomatoes,, chopped (1 lb)
1 tsp crushed ginger (opt)
1 salt to taste
1 tbsp heavy cream (opt)
1/4 cup fresh chopped coriander
1/2 tsp lemon juice
Recipe Preparation
If using shrimp, clean and devein. Saute them lightly on both sides
until they become pinkish, then set aside. If using chicken, cut the
meat into 1" strips and set aside. In a saucepan or wok, heat the oil
and "splutter fry" the curry powder and red chili powder and then the
garlic rapidly for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, then add the ginger,
if desired, and salt; mix well and bring to a boil. Add the chicken
or shrimp, and simmer until cooked (3-5 minutes for the shrimp, 6-10
minutes for the chicken). Finally, do the "fimmering" process,
simmering on high heat until the oil floats to the top for a minute
or so. Remember that overcooking or overspicing can kill the curry.
Use the optional cream to tame the curry or adjust the flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serves 2 as a main dish, 3-4 when served with other dishes.
Servings: 4

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightRecognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
The argument against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is very hard (although not technically impossible) for vegetarians to take up a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys may become stressed and that the related change in acid levels in the blood can result in bone loss, but some of the medical studies trying to test the theory have failed to find evidence of damage to the kidneys or loss of bone.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, mangos and winter squash)
These colorful foods are rich in carotenes thought by doctors to play a role in helping prevent cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach and lesophagus. Many also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet.
