Panfried chicken, cumin omelette and cucumber salad with garlicky yoghurt dressing

Everytime I resolve to have a "healthier" week (usually following holiday gluttony) it ends up being 1) research through a whole bunch of low carb / low GI recipes, 2) conceptualize a list for the week, 3) make first dish look really fancy... all of the time that I should really spend on working out! This plate is from one of those weeks but hey, it turned out absolutely yummy that I looked forward to packing leftovers the next day.


Pan-fried chicken with a soy-chilli marinade
1 chicken fillet - cut into strips
2 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 tablespoon worchestire sauce

Method: Marinade all of the above. Heat pan with a little oil and add chicken strips. Cook until meat is done and you get a nice caramellisation on edges.

Cumin-carrot omelette
3 eggs
1 cup chopped carrot
Spring onions - chopped
1 teaspoon cumin powder
Salt to taste

Method: Beat all of the above together in a bowl. Heat pan with a little oil and fry omelette until done.

Cucumber with garlicky yoghurt dressing
1 cucumber - cut however you prefer
1 cup yoghurt
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon mint flakes
3 cloves garlic & 3 shallots - both roasted or sauteed

Method: Blend yoghurt, soy sauce, mint, garlic and shallots until you get a light dressing. Drizzle over the cucumber and serve chilled.
