at 350 degrees.

Step 13 TIP 1) This is a recipe from North India where butter (ghee), nuts and cream are used in many traditional dishes. In order to reduce the total and saturated fat significantly from the
original recipe, yogurt was used to replace most of the cream and the ghee has been
eliminated. The amount of nuts was also reduced significantly.
Step 14 TIP 2) If cream is necessary for a traditional dish, use lower fat cream like half and half (10%)
rather than whipping cream (35%). Add it at the end of the recipe to avoid curdling.
Step 15 TIP 3) Use no salt added canned tomatoes so you can control the amount of salt in your
dishes. Left over tomatoes from the can be refrigerated and used another day. They last
up to 3 days in a sealed container and are a great addition to any curry
Step 16 TIP 4) Pre-made curry powders and mixes can be found in South Asian ethnic stores.
They may reduce the number of spices added to a recipe but can have a lot of added
salt. It is best to cook curries from homemade spices or spice blends instead of using
store bought curry mixes or powders.
