High Blood Pressure Low Salt Recipes

SPROUTS KADHI

Preparation time 15 minutes

Cooking time 15 minutes

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mixed sprouts (moong, chana, makai), cooked

1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

1/4 tsp mustard seeds (rai / sarson)

2 bayleaves (tejpatta)

2 whole red chillies broken into pieces

1/8 tsp asafetida (hing)

1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste

Sp tsp red chilli powder

¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)

2 cups low fat curds (dahi)

4 tsp besan (Bengal gram flour)

2 tsp oil

Sp tsp salt

Let's check out the recipe for Sprouts Curry, a low salt dish for hypertension patients.

For this we need precooked mixed sprouts.

FOR THE KADHI (CURRY), we need curd which is nicely stirred.

FOR THE TEMPERING, we need bay leaves, dry red chillies and mustard seeds.

We need salt to taste, a teaspoon of coarsely grounded ginger and chilli.

We also need two pinches of asafetida and a little gram flour.

People often make 'Kadhi'.

There is 'Sindhi Kadhi' and 'Maharashtrian Kadhi'. In UP there are some different Kadhis.

But this particular Kadhi is meant especially for high blood pressure patients and uses sprouts very smartly. There are all sprouts in it.

First we will mix the gram flour and curd. Mix it nicely such that there are no lumps.

Add in a bit of water.

While adding water, keep in mind that you do not need to add a lot of water. Just add a little water and bring the mixture to a lumpy formation.

Then you can add some more water so as to prevent lumpy formation.

We are done.

TEMPERING:

Now we will heat some oil in a pan.

Add in some mustard seeds for the tempering.

We will add coarsely grounded green chillies and ginger paste once the mustard seeds start crackling.

Now add in bay leaves, red chillies and a bit of asafetida.

Asafetida has its distinct flavor but you have to be a little careful while adding it.

Asafetida will burn if you suddenly put it in the oil.

So we put all other ingredients and then add asafetida. That way, it won't get burnt and you will find its taste as well.

Now we will add the mixture of curd and gram flour into the pan.

Add in some water to monitor the thickness of the mixture.

Upon cooking for some time, you can add in the sprouts.

Lots of sprouts! Wow!

Now let's add in salt.

Add salt at the very end because we are using curd, green gram and after that we had added dry spices.

Then we added in the sprouts.

If we add salt to the curd, then it would've been insufficient for the sprouts.

That's why we add all the ingredients and then add salt to taste.

You must keep in mind that this is a low salt recipe and a recipe which is being made for the people with high blood pressure. So you must use salt in a limited quantity.

Our 'Sprouted Kadhi' is ready.

Now we will serve it. It looks amazing.

When you serve, choose to keep the bay leaf and red chilli towards the top.

Sprouted Kadhi is now ready.

You will enjoy it even more if you serve it with roasted poppadom.

I usually tasted the common Saag prepared by the Punjabis. I was amazed when Gagan, my friend, mentioned about it. I was wondering what might be the seven varieties of leaves which are used in the preparation of this Sat Varga Saag. The words “Sat” in Punjabi means seven and “Varga” means differentiated.

Natural remedies for common ailments are more and more popular-one that many people haven’t heard of is the use of curry leaves for bad breath. The people of India grow the curry tree, Murraya koenigii, because the leaves are used to flavor traditional dishes; however, they have also known for many years that putting a few of the fresh leaves in the mouth and holding them there for several minutes can have a remarkably positive effect on the breath.

Murraya koenigii health benefits don’t stop there. Apparently scientists are studying the extract of the leaves as a natural medicine against high cholesterol and high blood sugar, suggesting that it may have great potential in Western countries where many people suffer from high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. The extract contains healthy antioxidants as well, and root bark of the plant is used in some conditions as a pain reliever. It seems that curry leaves for bad breath is only the beginning.

Curry leaves are considered a green vegetable in India. It’s known that they contain vitamins and minerals, which explain some Murraya koenigii health benefits. They also contain essential oils, zinc, and chlorophyll, all of which have been used in commercial remedies for oral malodor. It’s very likely that, like many plants, this one produces some antibacterial compounds and using curry leaves for bad breath may result in a reduction of oral odor-producing bacteria.

Of course, even natural remedies with a long history of use must eventually be properly studied to determine their usefulness, potential toxicity, and how they work. Scientific study has not yet illuminated the secrets behind Murraya koenigii health benefits; however, we can be fairly sure the substance is not toxic because of its long and widespread use as an edible culinary plant. Fresh curry leaves for bad breath will be difficult to obtain in regions where the tree is not grown, however, dried leaves are available in many Asian shops and even these may have some beneficial properties. Further investigation will reveal whether this plant has a future in the arsenal of weapons against oral malodor.

– Chicken Katsu Curry Sauce Ingredients kat curry

2 Medium Onions
5 Garlic Cloves
2 Medium Carrots
2 Table Spoons Of Plain Flour (Gluten free can be used)
4 Teaspoons Curry Power
2 Teaspoons Of Honey
4 Teaspoons Of Soy Sauce (Gluten free soy sauce can be used)
1 Bay Leaf
A Dash Of Sunflower Oil
600ml Chicken Stock (I use two of the chicken stock gels)
1 Teaspoon Garam Masala

– Bread Chicken Ingredients

4 Chicken Breasts
2 Tablespoons Plain Flour (Gluten free flour can be used)
100g Panko Breadcrumbs (If you don't have breadcrumbs I'm going to explain how to make them in the recipe!)
1 Egg (You can use natural yogurt this will also mean you won't need the flour you'll just be dipping your chicken in the yogurt and then the breadcrumbs)
250ml Vegetable Oil (This is for the frying)
Salt & Pepper

– Coconut Rice

350g Basmati Rice
1/2 Tin Of Coconut Milk (You can use 1 sachet of coconut cream)

This one is for all you wagamamas lovers out there its a bit more complex than most of my recipes but well worth the extra effort. Unlike most of my recipes this one makes enough for four so invite some friends round! Failing that just do one chicken breast, less rice and freeze the sauce. You can also add a side salad or veggies as I have if like me you like to hit that 5 a day target.

It's also a great one for people avoiding gluten just swap the flour out for gluten free and use gluten free bread to make the bread crumbs its won't change the taste of the dish at all.

For the sauce roughly chop your onions and garlic cloves pop them in a saucepan with some oil on a medium heat until your onions are soft. Then roughly Chop your carrots and add them too. Cook the whole lot for around 12 minutes.While this is cooking away make your chicken stock, to your chicken stock add the honey, soy sauce and bay leaf.

Now add your flour and curry power to the saucepan and cook for another minute. Gradually add your chicken stock into the mix. Then bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens this will take around 20 minutes.

Almost there just … Stir in the garam masala, cook for a further a minute. Then pour the curry sauce through a strainer to remove the chucks of onion, carrots and garlic. (That's the sauce done. Now its time for chicken, you can leave the curry sauce to go cold whilst you cook the chicken and rice just reheat the sauce before serving.)

If you don't want to make your bread crumbs you can skip this step. Breadcrumbs are really simple for panko breadcrumbs cut the crusts off a slice of bread. (For normal bread crumbs you don't want to be cutting the crusts off) Then bake the slice of bread at 150c / gas mark 2 for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the slice bread about halfway through to cook the bread evenly. Then just blend it up in food processor and you'll have bread crumbs!

The chicken is dead easy. Firstly set out three bowls with your beaten egg, flour and breadcrumbs in. (You can use natural yogurt instead of an egg) Now use a meat hammer to flatten your chicken until its 1cm thick. Then season both sides of your chicken to taste with salt and pepper.

Coat the seasoned chicken breasts in flour then egg and then breadcrumbs making sure to coat both sides of the chicken breast. (This can get a little messy so having a sink full of water at the ready to wash your hands is a good idea!)

Once the chicken is coated leave it and start your rice. keeping in mind your chicken is going to take 4 or 5 minutes to cook until golden brown on each side. So your going to have to multitask or recruit a willing volunteer for this next little bit.

Put your rice into a medium sized pan with 500ml of water and bring to the boil. Once boiling pop a lid on the pan and turn the heat right down so the rice is just simmering away (Don't be tempted to stir, poke at or lift the lid on your rice whilst its cooking. I have no idea why but my mother always used to tell me off when I did any of the above so you can't either!) Leave simmering away for 10 or 12 minutes. (See No10 so you can cook your chicken whilst the rice is cooking)

Once your rice is cooked remove the lid. Fluff the surface a little with a folk, then add the coconut water and cook on a super low heat not forgetting to replace the lid for a further 3 to 4 minutes. Then press the rice into little bowls or ramekins and leave it to cool for 3 minutes so it looks all pretty when you serve it.

Heat your oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Then place the chicken breast into the hot oil and cook for around 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. But make sure the chicken is cooked through slightly raw chicken is not cool! (You can also cook your chicken in the oven for 20 minutes at 180C / gas mark 4)

Tip Note: The chicken can be subbed out for a meaty fish like cod or for the veggies out there you can replace the chicken with a beef mushroom or aubergine.

Curry powder is considered to be one of the world’s oldest spice mixes. While most often associated with Indian food, it is used in almost every cuisine in the world. Did you know that the original recipe did not have chili peppers on it? It wasn’t until Christopher Columbus traded chili seeds to India that the recipe we love today was born.

Chicken

Chicken is an excellent source of protein and contains less fat than most meats, especially the breast which contains half the fat of a steak. Chicken is a good source of niacin, which possesses cancer fighting properties as well as the trace mineral selenium.

It is also a good source of vitamin B6, which in conjunction with niacin, is good for energy production by helping the body’s conversion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into usable energy, as well as good cardiovascular health.

Onion and garlic

Onion and garlic are frequently used in curry recipes and both have protective effects – onion has been shown to protect against stomach and colon cancers for instance and garlic is well known for its anti-fungal and antibiotic properties. When cooked it is less powerful, but supposedly is good for the cardiovascular system.

Onion has also been used for centuries to treat coughs, colds and asthma as well as angina, bacterial infections, and breathing problems, while The World Health Organization recommends the use of onions for the treatment of poor appetite and to prevent arteriosclerosis.

Spices

While many people associate spices with the strong flavours of Indian food, they forget that like all foodstuffs they can provide important nutritional value.

For example both Ginger and turmeric appear to have an anti-inflammatory effect making them suitable for the treatment of arthritis. Unsurprisingly ginger does contain chemicals similar to those found in conventional anti-inflammatory medications, although it also acts to thin the blood, while turmeric seems to suppress the chemicals responsible for causing inflammation.

Cinnamon has also been identified as being important in the inflammatory response and a small amount taken every day will help lower the risk of factors leading to type 2 diabetes and heart disease by as much as 10 to 30 percent, although the jury is still out on cinnamon’s anti-bacterial properties.

As well as its anti-inflammatory properties, one component of ginger, known as gingerol, has been shown to reduce the effects of nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness as well as possessing cancer-fighting attributes.

And cayenne pepper, responsible for much of the heat of a curry, has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties too – it seems to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and may be useful as an analgesic too.

India continues to occupy its historic position as the largest producer of spices in the world. There is something magical about the Indian herbs and spices that transform simple ingredients into exotic dishes. It is a common assumption that among the traditional uses of spices was their role in disguising food that was well past its best. It is not until the middle of the 17th century that a more selective use of spices and herbs is visible. The British love affair with Indian food goes back to the early 17thcentury. Edward Terry, one of the first Englishmen to taste Indian food with all its goodness, talked about onions, ginger, herbs and spices with meat pieces being used in well-proportioned quantities, thus cooking food that is exceedingly pleasing to all palates. In United Kingdom, you conduct a word association test and say “spicy” and the response would be “curry.” Assuredly they are perfectly normal for no other food is so inextricably linked with aroma and flavor than Indian Curry. The smell of Indian Curry excites the taste buds in a unique and inimitable way and that for us is comfort food.

Nothing makes the use of the fabulous spices from India like a good curry does. While these curries can be made with a bunch of ingredients like seafood, lamb, pork and an amazing variety of veggies – chicken seems to be a the most popular universally and rightly so! It is very hard to go wrong with a chicken curry because these is no hard and fast rule when it comes to making one.

When it comes to curry recipes in India there is no limit. Each state, region and even family has their own unique recipe for it. No matter which part of the country you are in, you can be sure of eating a good chicken curry. Right from the delicious creamy and rich curries of the north, the light and flavorful jhols of the east, and the variety of coconut based chicken curries from the West and South of India – the list is endless.

Chicken curries form the north are rich, thick and more robust as compared to the ones made elsewhere in the country. They are also the ones that popularized curries abroad. The likes of butter chicken and chicken tikka masala use tandoor or grilled chicken in a creamy tomato and butter based thick curry. There are also simpler ones like a dhaba chicken curry or tariwala murgha which don’t have creamy, buttery gravy but are high on flavor from whole spices, onions and tomatoes. Best eaten with crisp roti’s and paranthas, they could easily be the star attraction in an Indian meal.

In the South of India chicken curry is just as popular as it is in the North albeit made with different ingredients. While in the north the curries are made with onions tomato and yogurt in the south Coconut or coconut milk is a regular addition to give body to a good chicken curry. From the coconut and bedagi chilly based masala of Karnataka to the curry leaf and onion base of an Andhra style peppery chicken curry or the cooling coconut milk based curries of Kerala – there is one thing that is common for curries from the south – plenty of flavor. These delicious curries are served with famous South Indian accompaniments like idlis, dosas, appams, iddiappams, Kerala paranthas etc.

A chicken curry from Bengal on the other hand is slightly runnier than in other pockets of the country and is called a jhol. While you might be more familiar with a machcher or fish curry from the east, they do make a delightful chicken curry too – murgir jhol. Eaten with a generous helping of rice, make sure you make this Bengali curry with either mustard oil or jhorna ghee.

In the West, Gujarat and Rajasthan are predominantly vegetarian but Maharashtra makes up for lack of a good chicken curry from the region. The flavorful pandhra or white curry and the fiery tambda rassas from Kolhapur are world famous. Even the Malvan coast boasts of delicious chicken curry served with crisp fried multiflour vadas called vade or rice flour bhakris called amboli.

One of the simplest chicken curries you can make is a home-style chicken curry with the most basic ingredients at home. All you need to do is heat some oil or ghee in a pan and sauté a few whole spices in it. Add a puree of onions and sauté followed by tomato puree, powdered spices and chicken pieces on the bone and cook till the chicken in well done and juicy. As this is a quick and easy chicken curry the chicken is directly added to the curry, but you could also pan fry it before adding it to the curry.

Curry is the favourite meal for many people. It has so many flavours and ingredients that you couldn’t resist the delicious meal. Adding different types of meat, vegetables and spices is what makes a good curry.

Spices that are mainly used in curries include:

• Turmeric – this spice makes the sauce yellow and enhances the aroma of the entire dish. Only a small amount of turmeric is used as it is quite a strong flavour.
• Masala – this is a mixture of different ingredients that really adds the main flavour of the curry. Usually, masala contains curry powder, chilli powder, garlic salt and seasoned salt.
• Chilli – although the masala contains chilli powder, it always tastes better with that extra bite.
• Coriander – originally, this is a Mediterranean plant but has been adapted to be used in curries. The seeds of the plant are usually ground into a powder and works well when mixed with cumin.
• Cumin – cumin is another seed that makes the curry taste amazing. Originally, the cumin seeds are related to the parsley plant.

The next set of ingredients that are added to the curry are:

• Onions – onions are pungent roots that, when cooked, give the sauce a sweet and sour taste. Frying onion in a bit of sunflower oil brings out that sweet and sour flavour.
• Garlic – a little bit of garlic is always a great addition to any dish. The strong and spicy flavoured clove assists the cook when bringing the curry to life. Many dishes can’t go without this ingredient because of the wonderful flavour.
• Whole Chilli – this is an optional ingredient, especially if you have already put the chilli powder and masala in the curry. This simply makes the dish hotter with a fresher ingredient.
• Vegetables – this is another optional ingredient. It makes the dish wholesome but many chefs don’t worry too much about adding any vegetables such as potatoes, beans, peas and peppers.
• Ginger – the root is sweet and works hand in hand with garlic and onion. The ginger root is yellow and quite strong on the tongue and throat but a minimal amount adds a really good flavour to this dish.
• Meat – the type of protein added to the curry is completely up to the chef and his or her preferences. The juices from the meat contribute a lot to the dish and assists in making the curry what it should be.
• Sunflower Oil – There is no cooking without some sunflower oil. This is the key ingredient to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan and adds a hint of flavour to the dish.
