Baked cod and chana masala

Another diet day and another low calorie meal, this time baked cod with chana masala (a chickpea curry type thing).

This is such an easy thing to make on a weeknight, only takes a maximum of half an hour to whip up and is under 350 calories.

The ingredients are as follows
  • White fish fillets
  • A small onion - chopped
  • A garlic clove About a thumbs worth of finely chopped ginger
  • A tin of chickpeas
  • A tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 green chilli - chopped
  • Chopped coriander 
To make it...
  1. Fry the ginger, onion and garlic for a couple of minutes
  2. Add the spices and chilli and fry for another minute
  3. Drain the chickpeas and add them along with the tomatoes
  4. Simmer for 15 mins
  5. Meanwhile you can either fry or bake the fish - I baked it so it was healthier.
  6. Place fish into foil parcel and season with salt, pepper, garam masala and chilli
  7. Bake for 10-15 mins
  8. Serve chana masala on plate with fish on top and chopped coriander leaves scattered over it.
Delicious with a naan too.
