Expert Tips

Shrimp isn’t only for special occasions; it’s a lean shellfish to use any time in stir-fries, pastas, egg dished and casseroles. Keep frozen shrimp in a sealed package in the freezer for up to two months. Remove only the amount you need for a recipe and thaw it as directed on the package.

Spoon this curry over a bed of rice on a decorative oblong china platter. Pass the platter family-style, or use it as part of a buffet.

Pass a bowl filled with chutney or place a small bowl of chutney at each place setting. For dessert, serve Raspberry-Topped Low Fat Cheesecake.

My husband and I love this recipe! I cook it for longer than called for - until the broccoli is soft; and I use frozen broccoli, which gets soft sooner. The colors aren't as bright as in the picture when you cook it for longer, but it tastes and looks a lot more authentically Indian that way.
