Vegetable and Chickpea Curry

The slim girl's surprising secret weapon? A slow cooker. These healthy and delicious low-cal meals make healthy eating a snap, since leaner, less fatty cuts of meat still turn out tender in a slow cooker and you can get by with using less salt and oil because the flavors have time to meld together.

Vegetable and Chickpea Curry

Makes: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients
3 cups cauliflower florets
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup loose-pack frozen cut green beans
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 14-ounce can vegetable broth
2-3 teaspoons curry powder
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves
Cooked brown rice (optional)

Directions
1. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker, combine cauliflower, chickpeas, green beans, carrots, and onion. Stir in broth and curry powder.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
3. Stir in coconut milk and shredded basil leaves. Spoon rice, if using, into bowls, and ladle curry over the top.

My husband liked this curry, but I just thought it was way too bland. I probably doubled the curry powder and still it didn't help. The textures were good.

I love the sound and look of this curry. I agree that there doesn't seem to much in the way of seasoning. It's important to keep your sodium levels low when trying to loose weight so instead of salt add lemon juice. Works every time for me!

I enjoyed this, but I didn't think there was enough seasoning in this recipe. I added some additional curry powder and salt to the leftovers and they were so much better.
