About

The curry was flavorful, with a mild heat, that didn't overwhelm the other ingredients. I especially love how just a hint of the cinnamon came through. If you do like some real heat in your curry, I would increase the amount of cumin and curry powder you use.

Making this dish all the better, one serving of the curry is only 205 calories with 2 grams of fat and 4 of fiber. I served it over Basmati rice. Nancy made a delicious whole-wheat naan to go with it. Watch for that recipe tomorrow.
