Preparation

If you love Indian food, you'll love this quick weeknight meal of curried beef. It is surprisingly low in fat: 95 percent lean ground beef has only 5 grams of fat per 3 ounces. For comparison, 3 ounces of ground turkey has 6 grams of fat; ground turkey breast has less than 1 gram of fat.

We used potatoes, cauliflower and peas in this dish, but any combination of vegetables will work, such as green beans, lima beans, zucchini or carrots.

Menu:Curried beef with vegetablesPita bread or other soft flat breadCucumber saladSliced pineappleIced tea

Tips:Substitute 3/4 cup frozen chopped onions for 1 medium onion.

For better flavor, use a good-quality curry powder such as Bolst.

Substitute lentils or vegetables for the ground beef for a vegetarian dinner.
