Spritz with olive oil and bake the breaded eggplant instead of frying for a lower calorie meal. May also use fat-free cheeses, but we love the recipe as written.

Vindaloo is one of my favorite dishes in the world! This spicy Indian curry can be made vegetarian or with meat and is packed with spices. For those new to Indian cooking, I simplified the spice list, choosing five you might already have on hand.
