The last recipe on the list is Pumpkin curry with chicken meatballs! I've had this one pinned here forever and just ever got around to trying it out! I figured the pumpkin flavour would make it a perfect end to cold Fall week! Here's how we did:
Substitutions/Additions:
1) 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon in place of the stick
2) Regular coconut milk instead of low-fat
3) Added 1 tbsp of soy sauce
4) 1/2 cup chicken broth in place of bouillon and to thin out the curry a little (it was super thick!)
And now for the ratings:
Taste: A. We both really liked this one! This was warm, spicy and hearty and I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today! I think if I were to do this one again, though, I'd use strips of chicken in place of the meatballs or I would add some breadcrumbs to the balls -they were a little dry.
Cost: A-. Using ground chicken makes this very budget friendly! If you already have a decent spice cabinet at home, you probably don't need to buy any of the seasonings!
Nutrition: A. Between the spices and the veggies, there's tons of anti-oxidant goodness in here! Between the carrots and the pumpkin you'll get a good dose of beta carotene! Also, the chicken is nice and lean.
Simplicity: B. Using some strips of chicken would save the time and mess of the meatballs, but they were kind of unique and cool so I'm torn...
Overall: A.
And that's that! Will you be trying out any of these recipes yourselves? Which ones?
