Introduction
This recipe is from Jane Brody's Good Food Book. It is wonderful, and it is low in sodium. It makes 4-6 servings. 200 calories if you eat 1/6 of the recipe, and 300 calories if you eat 1/4 of the recipe. The sauce is made of pureed fruits and vegetables. I use S&B Oriental curry powder, which I feel makes a lip smacking difference. Serve with brown rice. This recipe is from Jane Brody's Good Food Book. It is wonderful, and it is low in sodium.
