LOW FAT CALIFORNIA SAAG

Steps:

• If using meat, brown the meat now and remove.
• Add diced onions and salt to hot pan. Cook over medium heat until translucent, maybe 3 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium-high.
• Add red peppers and cook for 1 minute.
• Add spinach and cook until warm.
• Combine corn starch and 1/2 cup water. Mix thoroughly.
• Add corn starch slurry to pan. Stir constantly until thickened.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Check seasoning. It should be hotter than you'd like, since the rest of the yogurt will absorb quite a bit of heat. You may also want to add more curry powder,.
• Check thickness. Add water if too thick, or boost heat to medium and reduce if too thin.
• If you're using meat, add it, and any juices that have collected, into the pan.
• Add the rest of the yogurt and mix in well. Check seasoning again. Remove from heat.
• Serve over rice.
