Notes

Use mild curry powder for the first trial. Add more or less, or change the spices to your taste for the following ones.

For a lighter dish, substitute cooking oil with the same amount of water. Stew the onion rather than frying. The result will be equally delicious and will not spoil a weight loss diet.
