if there’s already a thread on this please let me know, i did a search but couldn’t find one
can some of you post up some good recipes that are Low calorie and that taste good too
i know curries are fattening i think it totally depends on how much oil is used, chicken by itself isn’t fattening or the ingredients added
Rice, veggies and dal
Ingredients
1 cup dry Lentils (any)
2 medium onions, diced
2 large carrots, sliced
1 cups fat free Chicken or Vegetable Broth
2 cups water
1/2 tsp Curry Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 cups zucchini, sliced
2 cups cooked and cooled brown rice
1 cup Salsa or 2-3 Roma Tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
Directions
Add lentils, onion, carrots, 1 cup broth and 2 cups water to large pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Remove from heat, pour off extra liquid and add Zucchini and Curry Powder and Cumin.
Combine lentil mixture and brown rice in one bowl. Add salsa or tomatoes and cilantro. Mix well. Add salt and Pepper to taste. Spread mixture on large baking sheet to cool. This will keep the dish from clumping. Serve cold.

thai chicken salad
grate some carrots and deseeded cucumber, add some chopped onions and slithers of peppers, add some grilled/baked chicken and corriander and mint...make a dressing from soy sauce, sweetner, lime juice and chilli flakes and a little grated garlic...mix together...DIVINE!
Escapist had posted a really yummy recipe of taco dip and spicy corn salad in another thread, thought i would copy paste it here, i made the corn salad and fish recipe and tasted so good :), thanks escapist:
Sure,
The original **taco dip **has a layer of beans, I just skip that to cut out calories.
So, you mix 1 8oz. container non-fat sour cream with 1 envelope hot taco seasoning mix. Then spread out the mixture in a flat serving dish. Layer some low fat or fat free shredded cheddar or mexican-blend cheese evenly over the top of the sour cream, on top of that sprinkle sliced black olives (drained)...you can also add finely chopped tomatoes and/or lettuce. Its ready to eat and you can have it with tortilla or pita chips.
For the** spicy corn salad**:
Ingredients:
2 cups corn kernels (frozen,canned or fresh)
2 cups (less-sodium) black beans
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
Jalapeno or Serrano pepper, finely chopped (quantity upto you)
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp cumin powder
Directions:
Combine corn, black beans, tomatoes, jalapeno/serrano peppers and cilantro in a medium bowl.
Whisk oil, lime juice and cumin together.
Drizzle over salad and toss until coated.
Re: Low Calorie Tasty Recipes
sounds delicious :). do you have pictures of the corn salad or dip?
^it went in my tummy before i could take pics of it, hopefully escapist has a few pics :)
i baked it and used cod fillets (85 calories, 1.2 grams fat) instead of pomfret
you don’t need to add oil because the fish will have its own oils, i didn’t add any but if you have to add oil maybe a small tsp of olive oil(60 calories, 7grams fat)
