    I like caulliflower, tomatoes, onion and garlic in a curry tomato sauce over a little bit of brown rice. I always go light on the rice and fill up on the veggies.

    Hi there, I'm not Indian but I lived there for quite a while. My favourite is dahl made with split red lentils, another favourite is spinich and chickpea curry:
    4-5 servings
    1T oil
    1 large onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic crushed
    1T fresh ginger
    250g (2-3 medium) potatoes chopped
    2-3t curry powder
    1t cumin seeds
    2 bay leaves
    250g spinich
    400g can tomatoes
    300-400g can of chickpeas
    2t garam masala
    salt and pepper to taste
    fresh coriander to taste

    Fry onion, garlic, and ginger gently till softened. Add potatoes, curry powder, cumin seeds and bay leaves. Cook for a couple of mins then add spinich and tomatoes and about 1/2cup of water. Add chickpeas and simmer for about 15 mins till potatoes are cooked. Add garam masala, salt and pepper, and coriander. Serve with while rice. Yummy.
    For 4 serves with basmati rice it's 361 cals per serve.
