Recipe - Indian Curry Chicken

Diets can sometimes seem tedious. This dish is packed with powerful flavors to keep it interesting and to satisfy your hunger. The coconut milk does contain fat, but for many diets this fat is considered "good" fat.  You may substitute other milk if that is more suited to your diet instructions. In general this recipe should work well for "O" or "B" types if following the blood type diet.

1 tsp ground ginger
1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets

1/2 cup water or broth
1 1/2 lbs. cooked chicken, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large heavy skillet over medium-low heat, put the oil and and diced onion, stirring until onion is translucent.
2. Stir in the garlic, curry powder, and ginger, and continue cooking just until the garlic gets fragrant.
3. Add the cauliflower, coconut milk, and water or broth, turn heat down to low, loosely cover the skillet, and simmer until cauliflower is fork-tender.
4. Add the chicken to the skillet, stir, taste for salt and pepper and adjust seasonings to your liking.
5. Simmer, uncovered, for another 5 to 10 minutes or until chicken is hot and the liquid has thickened a little and reduces slightly.
6. Serve hot over rice, if that suits your diet. Otherwise, serve as is in bowls like a thick stew. (Type O might want to omit or limit the rice.)
