Step 9 TIPS
1) The nutritional information for this recipe is calculated using the dry pressed cottage
cheese. You can also use homemade low-fat paneer cheese (see recipe) or low-fat tofu.
Step 10 TIP 2) If you find your food is starting to stick to the pan, do not add any more oil. Instead
add a tbsp of water to prevent the food from continuing to stick and/or burn. If this
continues you may have your element on too high of a heat and should try turning
it down slightly.
Step 11 TIP 3) The amout of potatoes and green peas were adjusted from the original recipe and
replaced with other vegetables such as spinach and cabbage. Potatoes and green peas are
considered a “starchy” vegetable and can raise blood sugar levels if you have prediabetes
or diabetes. You can either replace or cut back on these vegetables to reduce the amount
of carbohydrates in this dish.
