Chicken Chilli Slow Cooker Style


My version of chilli using chicken instead of beef, because... why not?

In your slow cooker:

2 sliced brown onions
2 sliced red peppers
3 celery ribs sliced
1 diced tomato
500gms of chicken mince
6 chicken drumsticks

400gms of three bean mix
400gms kidney beans
400gms condensed Chicken Soup
1 jar jalepeno peppers

2 tbs chilli powder
2 tbs coriander/cumin mix
2 tbs tomato paste
Water to cover

Cook on low for 8 hours

After 6 hours add 1 cup of quinoa

khalari style Eggplant Curry - Low fat/vegetarian


This is a curry that goes well with weight loss and vegetarians.

Begin by cutting 4 eggplants into cubes, spray with cooking oil and oven bake
Cut 2 brown onions and two red capsicum into slices and oven bake
I placed 2 trays in the oven at 180c until browned

In a saucepan bring to a light boil a little water and vegetable stock (I used vegeta)

Add the spice mix and boil lightly until fragrant
Combine the cooked vegetables and coat with the curry paste
Add the sauce mix and slowly simmer until done.
Note that the sauce will thicken and so water will need to be added.

Spice Mix:
2 tsp each
Cumin
Coriander
Chilli
Fenegreek
Garam Masala
Tumeric
Diced garlic

Sauce Mix:
300 mls no fat Greek yogurt
600mls water
3 tbs besan flour
Whisked till it forms a gravy (adjust ingredients as necessary)
