Try mixing it with chicken broth. It's good depending on what type of curry you are using.

We I don't really worry about fat because that whole thing is a bit of a myth but anyway thats another topic )

one I do is fry off your meat
Add the stock of your choice
Add curry spice mix (i.e Madras powder)
Add loads of veg (peppers, cauliflower, broccoli)
Boil until it's of a consistency you like the look of.

Bar the stock and meat that has to be pretty low fat I would think?

We just eat this in a bowl as is but sure it would go just as well with rice. I have done a birriani like this before and it was cracking (just added the rice in with the veg and boiled the lot)

Hope this helps!

I guess by "curry" you mean Indian food? For basic North Indian food, this is a standard recipe you can use to make many things - homemade Indian food is generally pretty healthy as it is mostly spices that provide flavor.:

Brown a lot of diced onions (low heat for a while) in a bit of oil and then puree them using an immersion blender. Then add minced ginger and garlic and brown all of it together. This is your base, its called masala. Now add whatever protein you want to it - like chicken or chickpeas. Season it with salt, red chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander powder, and turmeric (no curry powder!!). Add a little tomato paste and water, let it simmer for a while. If you want what we call curry (a protein dish with gravy) add more water and a bit more seasoning, let it simmer till the water creates a flavorful gravy. Serve with roti or rice.

Sorry I don't have measurements, I learned by watching my parents cook - but use much more spices, onions etc than you would think, our food is very flavorful so don't be stingy. You'll get the hang of the quantities by cooking it more and tasting while you;re cooking.

1/2 cup plain yogurt (fat free), 1 Tablespoon Paprika, 1 tablespoon mined and peeled fresh ginger, 1 garlic clove minced (I used 2), 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads(or turmeric), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 ground black pepper. Mix ingredients,put them in a ziplock bag - add 4 (1/4 pound) skinless and boneless chicken thighs. squeeze out air. refrigerate turning occasionally. Leave in at least 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 450. Place on roasting rack. Spray with nonstick spray. (Sprinkle with salt and pepper now not in marinade but I'm too lazy to change the top) Cook at least 22-25 minutes.
They say to discard the marinade - but I just take the extra marinade and I place in the water I use to boil the rice.
