|||
Ingredients
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
3 pieces cinnamon stick - (1 1/2" ea)
10 whole cloves
8 whole cardamom pods
3 dried red chilies
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
8 chicken thighs, skinned
1 can coconut milk - (14 oz)
Salt, to taste
Directions
Over high heat in a medium-sized heavy pot, heat the oil. Add the
peppercorns, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and red chilies. Stir until the
cardamom darkens slightly. Add the ginger, give a few stirs and add the
chicken and coconut milk.
Salt very lightly. Add enough water to just cover the chicken pieces.
Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and cook uncovered for 40 minutes.
The sauce will have thickened slightly. Season to taste. Try it with a
squeeze of lime.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Because the whole spices are not eaten, they're not included in the count.

Comments: This is really easy and really good. If you want to make a
"meal in a pot", add some fresh green beans when the chicken is cooked and
cook for 5 minutes or so until the beans are just tender. Adding a squeeze
of lime is great.

Diet Simple Chicken And Coconut Milk Curry Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose and energy in the food type gets transformed to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite and help you to eat less food without feeling you are missing out. It is also extremeley useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing increases in blood sugar amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, nevertheless some people discover that they reduce body weight when following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance that is an awful lot more healthy than normal, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't build up fat. The most important procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his system for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific research completed on other weight loss systems. Examples of good foods include, veal cutlets, chicken breast, shrimp, ricotta cheese, peanut butter, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as split peas, cucumbers and spinach. |
