131cal Butter Chicken!

131cal butter chicken!

okay y’all, so in all honesty this doesn’t taste much like the butter chicken you’d buy for takeout bc of the lack of well…butter. but it tastes like desi food and that’s enough for me. it’s SO good and super filling.

Ingredients:

1-2 chicken breasts (about 200-225g) - ~360cals

½ yellow onion, diced - 20cals

2 garlic cloves, minced - 8cals

1tbsp grated ginger - 7cals

4tbsp crushed tomatoes - 20cals

2tsp paprika - 12cals

1tbsp curry powder - 20cals

2tsp garam masala -16cals

1tbsp chilli powder - 20cals

1tsp salt - 0cals

¼ cup water - 0cals

¾ - 1 cup Silk coconut milk - 38-50cals

i ended up only using 3/4cup

Servings: 4 (abt 1cup)

Total/Serving: 131-143cals (depending on how much milk used)

***you can use less spices bc this does come out quite spicy so if it’s not your thing, you can half the measurements 

substitutions:

to make it vegan/vegetarian:

roast one head of cauliflower (in florets; 130cals) instead of using chicken for a 73-85cals/serving

use a whole block of tofu (378cals) for 135-147cals/serving

Do yourself a favor. Learn to code. Here's how.

I’ve said this to my non-techie friends countless times. It’s no secret that being able to code makes you a better job applicant, and a better entrepreneur. Hell, one techie taught a homeless man to code and now that man is making his first mobile application.

Learning to code elevates your professional life, and makes you more knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in the technology sector that are poised to have an immense influence on human life.

(note: yes I realize that 3/5 of those links were Google projects)

But most folks are intimidated by coding. And it does seem intimidating at first. But peel away the obscurity and the difficulty, and you start to learn that coding, at least at its basic level, is a very manageable, learnable skill.

There are a lot of resources out there to teach you. I’ve found a couple to be particularly successful. Here’s my list of resources for learning to code, sorted by difficulty:

Novice

Never written a line of code before? No worries. Just visit one of these fine resources and follow their high-level tutorials. You won’t get into the nitty-gritty, but don’t worry about it for now:

Dash - by General Assembly

CodeAcademy

w3 Tutorials (start at HTML on the left sidebar and work your way down)

Intermediate

Now that you’ve gone through a handful of basic tutorials, it’s time to learn the fundamentals of actual, real-life coding problems. I’ve found these resources to be solid:

Khan Academy

CodeAcademy - Ruby, Python, PHP

Difficult

If you’re here, you’re capable of building things. You know the primitives. You know the logic control statements. You’re ready to start making real stuff take shape. Here are some different types of resources to turn you from someone who knows how to code, into a full-fledged programmer.

Programming problems

Sometimes, the challenges in programming aren’t how to make a language do a task, but just how to do the task in general. Like how to find an item in a very large, sorted list, without checking each element. Here are some resources for those types of problems

Talentbuddy

TopCoder

Web Applications

If you learned Python, Django is an amazing platform for creating quick-and-easy web applications. I’d highly suggest the tutorial - it’s one of the best I’ve ever used, and you have a web app up and running in less than an hour.

Django Tutorial

I’ve never used Rails, but it’s a very popular and powerful framework for creating web applications using Ruby. I’d suggest going through their guide to start getting down-and-dirty with Rails development.

Rails Guide

If you know PHP, there’s an ocean of good stuff out there for you to learn how to make a full-fledged web application. Frameworks do a lot of work for you, and provide quick and easy guides to get up and running. I’d suggest the following:

Cake PHP Book

Symfony 2 - Get Started

Yii PHP - The Comprehensive Guide

Conclusion

If there’s one point I wanted to get across, it’s that it is easier than ever to learn to code. There are resources on every corner of the internet for potential programmers, and the benefits of learning even just the basics are monumental.

If you know of any additional, great resources that aren’t listed here, please feel free to tweet them to me @boomeyer.

Best of luck!
