Ingredient substitutions

Instead of Doongara Rice, low GI white rice, use quinoa for a gluten-free alternative. Quinoa is a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids. It is also a great source of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, making it a healthier alternative to white rice.
Instead of Masala Curry Paste, Patak's Tikka brand or gluten-free curry paste, use a homemade curry paste. Homemade curry paste is a healthier alternative as it is free from preservatives and additives, and is made with fresh ingredients. It also allows you to customize the flavor to your preferences.
