Recipe - Spinach and Pumpkin Curry
Serves 4 @ 0 point per serve
Ingredients
2 medium onions, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp minced chilli
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1kg pumpkin, peeled, cut into small pieces
1/2 cauliflower, cut into florets
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp vegetarian stock
150g baby spinach, chopped coarsley
1/3 cup fresh coriander
1 tbs flaked almonds, toasted
Method
My comments
As a meal on its own it is very light and great for those days / weekends when you have over indulged a bit. By adding cous-cous or rice (make sure you add appropriate points) it becomes a very filling meal. I always forget to add the almonds, and feel it does not suffer for it. I added cauliflower into the recipe this time and thought it was a great filler.
