Curry in a hurry
Written by Sierra Winter
I’ve always liked ethnic foods. While others crave burgers and fries, I turn to curries and stews filled with exotic flavors. Indian cuisine is among my favorites — it contains many healthful roots and spices such as ginger (remedies nausea and reduces pain and inflammation), turmeric (detoxifies the liver and protects against Alzheimer’s), curcumin (found in turmeric, it’s been shown to reduce risk of cancer), and cayenne pepper (promotes circulation and helps to rid the body of bad cholesterol). But before you Google the nearest Indian takeout, be aware that many dishes are filled with butter and cream, stuffing them full of calories.
But I found a — believe it or not — microwavable solution that let’s me eat an Indian-inspired, F-Factor approved dinner that’s ready in minutes. The brand So-Yah! created two amazing dishes: Red Vindaloo Curry if I’m feeling spicy, and Creamy Coconut Curry for a milder, more indulgent meal. With only 150 calories, 4 grams of fat and 8 grams of fiber, the Red Vindaloo Curry is a no brainer!
Both meals are made with Tofu Shirataki Noodles and served in a generous portion of delicious curry goodness. And they’re vegetarian and contain no preservatives or MSG. For an added protein boost, toss in some tofu, chicken, or shrimp and you’ll have a fiber-and protein-filled meal for under 250 calories.
