[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 510276, member: 55568"] Get hold of the Hairy Bikers' Great Curries, often on special offer at WH Smiths. It has obviously many curry recipes but also quick curries and curry bases and tips on freezing etc. One dish I like to do is a Goan Fish Curry. It's very simple and very tasty. Also very good, though a little more involved is Prashad's Indian Vegetarian Cooking. I often use the mixed lentil or chick peas recipes. However, if I am stuck for time, I substitute their massalas with the Hairy Bikers' which I have frozen. For rice, try Morrison's converted brown rice. It is only about 20g carbs per 100g and you only need about 75g for a portion. Being a converted rice, it is also about 1/3rd the calories of say a basmati brown rice. You can also use pearl barley as a rice substitute if you are doing something like a biryani. I also make my own wholewheat rotis and find them OK if I stick to 3. I could never get them more than about 6" and asked a chef about this. She told me that because it is wholewheat, you can't get the elasticity to make them bigger and that was about right. She went on to explain that the large ones you get in the restaurants or in packets have many other flours and additives to make them elastic enough but sticking to just wholewheat flour and water, they are going to be small. make sure you get proper wholewheat flour though.
