Low Calorie Malaysian Prawn and Vegetable Curry


So I'm still on my healthy eating mission and it's working well so far, 9lbs in 4 weeks.



This curry is absolutely gorgeous!

Serves 3 with the prawns (or you could have half without)

Ingredients

Small red onion
Lemongrass stick
Garlic clove
1 inch ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp red chilli flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1 can low fat coconut milk
200g butternut squash, cubed
200g Sweet potato, cubed
100g Sugersnap peas
300g king prawns
juice of 1 lime
1-2 tbsp fish sauce
coriander to garnish

Method

Blitz the red onion, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, spices and salt in a food processor with a bit of water, so it forms a paste.

Spray a saucepan with low cal spray and fry the spice paste for a few minutes, then add the coconut milk and bring to a rapid simmer.

Add the butternut squash and sweet potato and simmer until tender.  Once tender add the sugersnap peas and prawns, simmer until the prawns are cooked.

Add the fish sauce, lime juice and coriander to taste.

302 calories per serving.

I had mine with a tortilla as I'm not that bothered about rice, to be honest seems a waste of calories.

If you don't like prawns add chicken or for a super healthy portion leave out the protein and then it's only 214 calories
