Over the last decade children, in the United States, have been gaining more and more weight.   Obesity is rapidly becoming an epidemic in our youngsters' lives.  Whether it's  all the fast food or lack of exercise, children are heavier than ever.

Calcutta Chicken
in spinach & yogurt sauce

Also from the Goddess Diet
Calcutta chicken in spinach and yogurt sauce is perfect for dinner. This dish is made with seasoning characteristic of the west Bengal region of India.  For a truly authentic taste, use mustard oil instead of canola. Make sure you heat the mustard oil before adding the ingredients.  This tempers its pungency.
