    Copied and shared in my Google Drive! Thanks!
    I also recommend looking into Bangladeshi recipes too. All the great flavors of Indian, without the ghee and cream.

    Okay, so anyone who likes Indian food knows that it is a) delicious and b) filled with coconut milk, ghee, cream, and oil. I love a nice warm, creamy Indian stew and have been working on this for awhile to get it right. If anyone is familiar with butter chicken or butter channa (chickpeas) (called chicken/channa makhni at some places), this is my healthified version! Makhni sauce is tomato-based but usually made with a ton of cream and ghee. I totally removed the cream and ghee from this recipe and replaced it with fat-free plain yogurt (regular, not Greek) - it is just as creamy but saves a LOT of calories. Plus the spices make it so flavorful that you really don't miss the fattiness.

    Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking about trying this with lentils in lieu of chickpeas and with sautéed spinach as a side.

    Just made this last night, with a slight variation: I basically cut the recipe in half and substituted chicken for half of the chickpeas, so I ended up with about 10-12 oz of chicken and one can of chickpeas. Everything else, I cut in half. It was delicious!! I just had one problem. I used fat free Greek yogurt, and while the flavor was great, it kind of separated in the pan. I took it off the heat before adding it, but it was still hot. I'm wondering if it was because its was Greek yogurt, or if was still too hot to add the yogurt when I did. Though it didn't look pretty, it still tasted great. I added a couple tablespoons of sour cream to see if it did the same thing, and it didn't. Does anyone have any tips to prevent that from happening? I may just use sour cream in place of the yogurt, or I may try it with regular yogurt instead of Greek. Either way, delicious dish! Definitely worth a try! Thanks for the idea, OP!! :flowerforyou:
