Hey my lovelies,

Love Lunch is still in the process of finding a new kitchen, hence frustratingly I can’t feed you all just yet….

However I thought I would do the next best thing and share the love by giving you one of my all time favourite recipes so you can cook up a love filled storm in my temporary absence! Yay!

My low fat spinach and chic pea rogan josh curry… (the uber quick and easy DIY version).

I picked up this recipe whilst traveling in India, and as always I have adapted it to a not only organic version, but meat free, lard and butter free, and super low in fat…. All the authentic taste but no guilt! Mmmmm.

Enjoy!

Much love,

Low fat spinach and chic pea rogan josh curry recipe

Serves 4-6 people

Ingredients: (I like to use organic)

1 brown onion, peeled and finely chopped

1 clove garlic, peeled and minced or extra finely chopped

4 ripe firm tomatoes, finely chopped

2 cans organic chic peas, rinsed well

Fresh baby spinach, washed well

1 Massel vegetarian stock cube

1 tablespoon tomato paste

3 tablespoons rogan josh curry paste

3 kaffir lime leaves

2 limes (one juiced, one sliced in wedges to serve) *sprig coriander (cilantro)

Maldon sea salt

1 teaspoon non GMO canola oil

How to:

Place canola oil in deep frying pan (best to use frying pan with lid). Add onion, sauté till translucent, add garlic, sauté for 1 minute (careful not to overcook, as garlic gets bitter when burnt). Add tomato and chic peas, stirring constantly for a minute or so.

Add stock cube, curry paste, tomato paste, stir well.

Then add the kaffir lime leaves, a generous pinch of salt, juice of 1 lime (no seeds!) and spinach, stir well, turn gas to low, place lid  on frying pan and simmer gently for 15 mins.

To serve:

Place on a bed of steamed organic basmati rice, sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander, and serve each plate with a wedge of lime. Goes brilliantly with my low fat dahl.

Serve with pappadams, ( micro waved for fat free option)  lime pickle, and sweet mango chutney.

Note: For an extra easy option, you can swap fresh spinach for a packet of frozen spinach, and fresh tomato’s for two cans of organic chopped tomato’s.

Enjoy! Xxxxxxxxxxx
