You can see from the images this is not a pretty dish, but I swear, it's really not bad for diet food. Always the "for diet food" qualifier. Ugh.
Anyway, if you serve it with one piece of the diet naan, the whole thing makes a decent 193 calorie meal.
You'll probably have leftovers which, honestly make fairly decent, albeit weird taco filling.
Yes. That's right. It's not actually naan. It's just a cooked flour disk that's soft, tenderer and surprisingly good.
Do not be afraid to bollocks this one up. It takes a bit of practice and the dough is never quite as smooth as you think it should be. That's OK.
This is a sturdy little recipe that produces two portions at 237 calories or one decent size portion at 475.
You can sub shrimp for the chicken, but the sausage is a must. If you can't find smoked chicken andouille, get a lower calorie turkey sausage and hack off a 130 calorie portion, usually like two ounces.
The saving grace of this is that it's 80 calories per serving and is fairly satisfying. The braised shallots really bring out the sweetness of the caramelized cabbage wedges and the whole garlic cloves add a buttery sensation on the palate that is quite lovely.
When the potatoes have cooled a bit, that is, steam no longer rushes out of the pot when you lift the lid, we gotta free some starch. I do this by abusing the potatoes mercilessly, which is why they are only par-cooked. Make sure the lid is on the pot, hold it down with both hands, and shake the bejeezus out of it.
