mmmm that looks so yummy! :yummy I'm such a massive fan of Indian food. I'm so happy that many of their dishes can be adapted to Atkins. :joy

I'm still unsure as to whether or not we Aussies can actually get this "spaghetti squash" of which you americans speak.


These are the only sorts of 'squash' that i ever see in the supermarket. The long one on the left is what we call "zucchini" - but i think you call is squash too, right?

And by the way - YES you are FAR too young to be a grandmother! My mum is 52 and trust me if I have anything to do with it, she's a long way from becoming a grandmother any time soon hehee.

I bet you could use some julienned squash or pumpking for this it just would not have the same texture...sorry I can not think of anything else like it!

so neither of those things i posted are like spaghetti squash? :no

oh well. There's heaps of other great stuff here so never mind.

I have heard that Zuchini can be wonderfully spaghetti like when shredded, you just have to slice it into noodle-like strips. Zuchini-bread is also very popular in the US (don't know about Australia) so the veggie does work in sweet as well as savory settings.
