Hi ,

Thanks. I'll even eat more curry.

For breakfast this morning, I scrambled one egg, added a bunch of broccoli

and cauliflower, and curry. Had 1 slice of bacon and 1 slice of whole wheat

toast with applesauce/splenda/cinnamon. Got both cinnamon and curry this

morning.

Hi Eunice,

Well 'curry' covers quite a multitude of sins... but curry spice

mixtures and garam masala usually contain fenugreek and that's

supposed to be really good for BG.

Most curry powders contain some hot pepper as an ingredient. That can

help decrease your sensitivity to pain. This could be a good thing if

the pain has a known cause and is unavoidable.

Well, no wonder I'm having such an easy time controlling my blood sugar now!

I eat TONS of curry all the time. LOL Hey, anything that takes me off that

extra pill for the diabetes is good. :-) I take enough pills without it. :-p

I dont think that anyone can overdose on curry... though my hubby refuses to

eat it, so I dont get to cook it... =( I LOVE it...

I like to use the " curry " powder in my coconut rice... mmm...

I also like to go and get the jars of the green and red curry... mm... mix

that with some lamb!

Me too... 3 years in Dallas and I've gone through curry withdrawl

almost to the point of having people send it airmail from home!!

It is good though that good old Patak's & Sharwood's can be bought

at certain stores over here and that they're pretty low carb &

sugars wise.

Makes me chuckle to think of a British Doctor prescribing 'eat more

curry' for Type 2... lol... I didnt think that was possible

Do you have a branch of Central Market near you because they stock a

Hi Bruce,

You are right, it is usually eaten with rice. However, when we go to the

Indian restaurant, I have the gravy with the veggies, meat. I don't eat the

rice.

I generally do curry as a stir-fry and just by-pass the rice.

For sure, and also normally with flat, oven baked naan bread... but

there's no 'law' that says you have to have rice & naan I like

to prepare curries 'bhuna' style where the sauce is reduced so that

it's quite thick, sometimes referred to as a 'dry' curry. This also

uses less coconut milk (reduced fat, low carb version). Then you can

easily do with either little or no rice at all.

cheers

Hi,

Curry is a blend of different spices. It is used in indian cookery. It flavors

soups, sauces, meat dishes. Rice or nan (or both) is served on the side during

an indian meal. Here is a soup recipe that uses curry. You can use rutabagas

or turnips instead of potatoes. Do what you like!

Recipe Name: QUICK CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Category: SOUPS

Serves: 8

2 Tblsp vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 1/2 Tblsp sugar or Splenda or omit entirely

4 Tsp. curry powder

8 cups cauliflower, chopped

2 Cups potatoes, peeled and diced

7 cups low-salt chicken broth

Plain yogurt or light sour cream

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until

translucent, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and curry powder; stir 1

minute. Add cauliflower and potatoes; stir 1 minute. Add broth and bring to

boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender,

about 35 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender. A blender stick is

the best for puréeing soups. Return soup to same pot and bring to simmer.

Season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls; top with yogurt or low fat

sour cream. Bon appétit!

Bruce, you may or may not know that curry has effectivley become the

national dish in england. If i didn't have at least 2 curries a week

then i would start to feel malnurished! I haven't eaten rice with

curry for years and rarely have aloo (potato) in the curries also.

Lentils make a good thick base for the sauce. Typically i would have

some thing like chicken cooked with spinach and a side dish of

cauliflower mushrooms and lentils. Then i go and ruin it all by having

a naan with it. Plus of course a nice cold lager.

Hmmmm, cooking chinese tonight, maybe a change of plan is required!

Interesting. I thought that the national dish in England was overcooked roast

beef with Yorkshire pudding and lumpy gravy and vegetables cooked to a grey,

mushy pulp, accompanied with a dark fluid optomistically referred to as coffee.

Ahem.... is this from a 'yank' who's bretheren seem to think that

deep frying a whole turkey in an oil drum full of boiling fat

is 'good wholesome food'?

LOL... over three years living in the Big D and I know which cuising

I prefer.

I have never and will never eat deep fried turkey.

And Texas cuisine is hardly typical of the US. Personally, I think that we

should never have annexed Texas; it has been more trouble than it has been

worth.

Roast beef and yorkshire pud are indeed an english classic, and that's

what we had last night for dinner, with leeks served al dente, red

cabbage and cranberry, accompanied with a nice californian zinfandel.

There's nothing wrong with english food nowadays.

London is the best place to eat on the planet, according to America's

leading food magazine. The latest edition of Gourmet says its

restaurants are far superior to rivals in Paris, Rome and New York.

Editors of the " food bible " said they were " blown away " by London's

food. " The glory days are back, " said one.

The magazine devotes its entire 180-page March issue to London dining.

It was the first time that Gourmet, which has a worldwide circulation

of more than a million, had been dedicated to Britain - and the first

time that one city had been declared better than all the others, the

editors said.

The verdict confirms London's pre-eminence among the world's centres

of culinary excellence after decades of struggling to shake off a

reputation for stodgy, unimaginative food.

I'll admit that it has been a long time since I was in the UK, but I remember

that the food there was pretty dismal. If anyone had told me that there was a

law against using any seasonings except salt and pepper--particularly the

former--I would have been inclined to believe it. It seemed that a British

cook's first instinct for preparing anything was to either boil it or fry it.

Not to mention WARM BEER.
