Skinny recipe #4 Fish korma with vegetables instead of rice

Hello!

The other night I really fancied curry so using some bits in the freezer, I made this :]

Struck likes rice with his but as I'm trying to eat a little healthier, I decided to have mine loaded with vegetables.

Here it is!

Sauce serves 2
Vegetables serve 1 (add more depending on no. of people)

You will need:

Sauce 

1/2 jar (or as instructed) korma paste

1 tsp ginger, crushed

1 tsp garlic, crushed

1/2 tin low fat coconut milk

1 Onion, diced

4 mushrooms, quartered

2 frozen fish fillets (any meat/fish)

Vegetables

1 parsnip, roughly chopped

50g frozen cauliflower

50g frozen beans

30g red lentils

Pan

Frying pan

Baking tray

Spoon

Sieve

Method - to prepare the vegetables

• Preheat oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
• Boil the parsnip, cauliflower and beans in a pan of salted, boiling water for 5 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables and pop into the oven to roast a little - this dries the vegetables out so they're not soggy!
• In another pan, add a little boiling water and then add the lentils. Keep an eye on the lentils, as soon as the water disappears, add a splash more and continue this for another 20 minutes until the lentils are cooked. Don't forget them when you're making the sauce!!

Method - to prepare the sauce

•  Pop the frozen fish fillets in the oven (or bake fresh fillets) for approximately 15 minutes.
• In a frying pan, add the onion with a little water and soften.
• Once softened, add 1/2 jar (or otherwise instructed amount) of korma paste and fry for a minute or so.
• Add the ginger and garlic and fry for a further minute.
• Add the the coconut milk and a splash of water then simmer for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, add the cooked fish, quartered mushrooms and a splash more water.
• Simmer for another 10 minutes, adding water if the sauce is too thick.

To serve, pile the vegetables in a bowl, pouring the lentils on top and the sauce on top of that.
It sounds really heavy, but the vegetables makes it ten times healthier AND more filling than rice!

There's approximately 600 calories but if you changed the vegetables, you could make it even healthier. I just used up what I had in my fridge/freezer.
