& Brown Rice

This serves about 2 people.
(2-3 carb servings per person; @ 9 WW points per person)

Stuff you need for the Gobi Masala:
2 cups of cauliflower, cut up
1 medium onion, diced
1 can of diced tomatoes, drained
2 T of cilantro
1 T of greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
1 cup of lite coconut milk
Spice powder -- 1 tsp each of red chile powder, coriander powder, cumin powder; 1/2 tsp of tumeric
1 tsp of poppy seeds ground together with 1 T of cashews
2 garlic cloves ground together with 1 hot green chile & a small piece of ginger
salt
1 T olive oil
salt to taste

Stuff you need for the grilled shrimp:
1.5 pounds of peeled, de-veined shrimp
Spice mix -- 1 tsp each of coriander powder, cumin, red chile powder, garlic powder, salt-free seasoning
1 T olive oil
1 lime
black pepper

Stuff you need for the raita:
1 8-oz. container of Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat) less the T needed for Gobi Masala
tiny amount of small-diced onion
1/8 cup of small-diced red pepper
1/8 cup of small-diced cucumber
1 tsp crushed cumin
1 lime (same one as for shrimp)
salt to taste

Stuff you need for the brown rice:
1 cup of brown rice
2 cups of water
1/4 cup of lite coconut milk

What to do so it's all done at the same time:
1. stir brown rice & water together; bring to boil; simmer covered for 30 minutes
2. lay shrimp in a single layer on a large, edged, cookie sheet; combine shrimp spice mix, sprinkle over shrimp evenly; drizzle with olive oil; mix with your hands until well-coated; set aside
3. stir all raita ingredients together -- you'll want just a single squeeze of the lime (sliced in half) and a small sprinkle of salt; set aside
4. preheat broiler (high)
5. make the gobi masala:
a. heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onions & saute until golden brown
b. add ginger, garlic, green chile paste & saute; add tomatoes & saute for 2 minutes
c. add the gobi masala spice mix with a pinch of salt & cook until tomatoes begin to absorb the mixture
d. add the yogurt & saute until well-blended; then add the cauliflower and coat well in the masala; cook for 2 minutes
e. add the coconut milk and the poppy seed/cashew grind; mix well, cover & cook 5-6 minutes or until cauliflower is tender-crisp
6. once you cover the masala, check the rice (it should be done) & add the coconut milk, stir & re-cover
7. put the shrimp under the broiler -- they will only need to cook for about 5 minutes so make sure your rice & cauliflower are done before the shrimp go in!
8. remove shrimp from oven; turn off rice; sprinkle masala with cilantro -- turn off all burners & broiler
9. eat! 1/2 of the shrimp, masala & raita = 1.5 carb servings; 1/3 cup of brown rice = 1 carb serving
