My mom left this morning and M and I went back to work after the Easter holiday with a vengeance. Both of us had long days today. Seeing this as a likely Monday scenario, we planned to try a convenience product that Wegman's has recently started carrying: Seeds of Change simmer sauce. This is similar to a product we tried last April from Trader Joe's. Tasty, easy, and low in fat, calories, and sodium. You do have to check labels with something like this. Both the Jalfrezi and Masala varieties seemed pretty good for you, but the Korma one was MUCH higher in calories and sodium, with a bit more fat. It's worth a quick check.

Anyway, this was easy and tasty. Perfect for recovering from a busy night.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Tofu, cucumbers
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: A jar defines "make ahead":)

Reaction
J: "Really, I do understand needing night's off from cooking. This is an especially good way to do it."
M: "Too easy to be this good."
