14 Tuesday August 13 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tasty Bites WESTERN NEWS Simple ways to cut back on the calories Making a simple swap from pastry to a tortilla wrap instantly brings down the calories. Filled with fresh ingredients, these samosa and simple chicken curry recipes are a great way to eat well and lose weight Samosas Makes 6 Prep time 10min Cooking time 15min Ingredients 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1cm pieces 75g frozen peas Low-calorie cooking spray ½ onion, diced 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 tsp grated root ginger Generous pinch of chilli powder ½ tsp ground coriander ¼ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp ground turmeric ½ tsp garam masala 30g spinach Juice of ½ lemon Sea salt 3 low-calorie tortilla wraps, cut in half 1 egg, beaten Fresh coriander, to serve Directions Cook the diced potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 5min, then drain. Cook the peas in boiling salted water and drain. Heat the oven to 200 deg C (fan 180 deg C) and line a baking tray with some greaseproof paper or baking paper. Spray a pan with some lowcalorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 3-4min until softened but not browned, then add the spices and cook for another minute. Stir in the cooked potato and mash it slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon before adding the uncooked spinach, lemon juice and peas. Add a pinch of salt and stir. Brush the edges of the halved wraps with the beaten egg. Fold each half into a cone shape and seal the edge, leaving the top open to add the filling. Divide the filling equally between the wraps, being careful not to overfill them (if you do, you will not be able to seal them properly). Brush the open end of the wraps with some more beaten egg, leave for 30-40sec, until it becomes tacky, then press the edges together firmly. ] You can use a fork to do this, but be careful not to rip the wrap. Arrange the samosas on the tray. Brush each samosa with plenty of beaten egg, make sure the edges are sealed, then place in the oven for 10min, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm. You can also allow to cool, wrap in baking parchment and freeze for another day. Super simple chicken curry Serves 4 Prep time 5min Cooking time 30min Ingredients Low-calorie cooking spray 1 large onion, sliced 450g chicken breast (skin and visible fat removed), diced 3 garlic cloves, crushed 400ml water 3 Tbsp curry powder 1 Tbsp ground turmeric 1 Tbsp tomato puree Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper To serve (optional) Samosas (see previous recipe) Cooked rice Ingredients Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2min until softened slightly, then add the diced chicken to the pan and cook for 5min until browned. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1min, then add all the other ingredients. The water should just about cover the chicken – you may need a little more or less depending on the size of your pan. Leave to simmer gently for 20min. Turn the heat up and boil the curry for another 5min, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pan, this will reduce and thicken the sauce slightly. Serve the curry with your choice of accompaniment. Tip: This curry recipe works well with lean diced lamb (all visible fat removed) too.
