Vegetarian Indian Curry with Garam Masala, Cauliflower and Chick Peas
Before you jump to Vegetarian Indian Curry with Garam Masala, Cauliflower and Chick Peas recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Choosing Fast Food That’s Fine For You.
Almost every single “get healthy” and “weight loss” document you go through will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. There’s some benefit to that. Occasionally, though, the last thing you need is to have to cook a meal from scratch. Once in a while you only want to pay a visit to the drive through when you are on your way home and complete the day. There is no reason that you shouldn’t be able to do that once in a while and be free of the guilt usually associated with “diet slips”. This is possible because an abundance of the popular fast food destinations are attempting to make their menus better now. Here is how you can eat healthy and balanced when you visit the drive through.
Aim for the side dishes. It wasn’t that long ago that French Fries were your sole side dish selection at a restaurant. Now more or less all of the popular fast food places have broadened their menus. There are lots of salads around these days. Chili is yet another selection. Baked potatoes may also be purchased. You can get fruit. There are plenty of wholesome options that do not consist of putting something deep fried into your body. When selecting your supper from the drive through, select a variety of side items instead of choosing a pre-made “meal deal”. When you do this you are able to keep your fat content and calorie counts low.
Traditional logic tells us that one sure way to get healthy and lose fat is to drop the drive through and to banish fast food restaurants from your thoughts. While this is usually a good suggestion all you need to do is make a number of good choices and visiting the drive through isn’t anything to worry about–when you do it in moderation. Sometimes the thing you need is to let another person create your dinner. There isn’t any reason to feel bad about visiting the drive through when you make healthful decisions!

You can bring some water with salt to a boil for the rice, also add a decent amount of oil to a wok pan (or other frying pan)
You can prepare the right amounts of coconut milk and tomatoes in 2 separate cups and put also aside untill needed
Put the wok pan on high heat, throw in the cauliflower roses as soon as the oil is hot and damping (it should sizzle when you add them) and bake them at high heat for about 2-3 minutes
Lower the heat to medium hot and add the paprika stripes and after frying for another 2 minutes add the onion rings as well
After another 2 minutes you can add the ginger matchsticks, keep stirring everything and also add the garlic and chili now
After a about 3-4 minutes lower heat a little more, the vegetables should be half done by now but still remain crispy
Add a good snuff of kurkuma, cumin and paprika powder and stir well before also adding 2 teaspoons of Garam Masala spices, fry this all together for a minute and smell the aromas coming out
Now add the cut peeled tomatoes with juice to the pan and stir

Meanwhile prepare the rice according to instructions on package
Wash the fresh coriander, cut it fine and put on table for garnish
