Super Low Cal DELICIOUS Eggplant Curry Recipe - Chicken opti
Options
So I tried this recipe and fell in love INSTANTLY! It's pretty easy and low calorie. I double the recipe so I use the whole eggplant.
INGREDIENTS:
1. 1/2 fresh whole eggplant, unpeeled
2. 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3. 1/2 tsp. cumin seed (if you don’t have any, substitute 1/4 tsp. cumin powder)
4. 1/2 cup fresh white onions, sliced (yellow or red onions should work well, too)
5. 1 garlic clove
6. 1 Tbsp. ginger root (substitute 1 tsp. of ginger powder if you don’t have the fresh stuff)
7. 1-1/2 tsp. curry powder
8. 1 fresh red ripe tomato (small 2 2/5")
9. 1/4 cup low fat plain yogurt (I used non-fat since that’s what I normally eat
10. 1 Tbsp. diced jalapeno peppers
11. 1/2 tsp. salt
12. 1 Tbsp. cilantro
If you want, you can add some cut up chicken breast too - it's really good!
DIRECTIONS:
1. Dice tomato. Mash garlic and ginger together to form a paste.
2. Preheat oven to 450ºF . Place eggplant on a medium baking sheet. Bake 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until tender. Remove from heat, cool, peel, and chop.
3. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix in cumin seeds and onion. Cook and stir until onion is tender.
4. Mix ginger garlic paste, curry powder, and tomato into the saucepan, and cook about 1 minute. Stir in yogurt. Mix in eggplant and jalapeno pepper, and season with salt. Cover, and cook 10 minutes over high heat. Remove cover, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking about 5 minutes.
5. Garnish with diced cilantro to serve.
TOTAL for the whole recipe: (If you double the recipe, remember to double the calories)
