What a delightful change in menu plans. I made some changes, e.g., no salt butter, full fat yogurt, no coriander seeds (none in house at time), reduced chili pepper and added curry. YUM! I will definitely make again and I think I will try @HAPPYWALKER's sauteed veggies suggestion. Submitted by:

Interesting combination of spices. I wouldn't be using the almonds which would drop the calories and fats a little. Will think about trying. Thanks for sharing. Submitted by:

Very interesting. A little high in fat and cholesterol since I went off my meds for that. But I will try a lighter version. Thank you. Submitted by:

I used fresh tomatoes to cut down on the sodium and used 1/2 of the butter and 1/2 of the almonds to lower the calories. Submitted by:

At 60 grams of protein, this recipe could/should serve 8 which makes the numbers much more accessible. I try to keep my protein down to 15-30 per meal Submitted by:

When the first word is butter, that should put up a sign, that maybe it's fattening. Submitted by:
