Skinny Curry

Skinny Curry


None of these ingredients are set in stone. However, I seriously encourage the addition of the butternut squash. It really does increase the enjoyment & satisfaction levels from this meal.
Brown rice does take a little longer to cook however it is higher in fibre and will keep you fuller for longer.

A normal Korma would be based on full fat cream or coconut milk but his has NONE, NADA, NOTHING!!!
Ingredients

Serves 2
1 Chicken Fillet
100g uncooked brown rice
2 dessertspoons pataks korma paste
1 chicken stock cube
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cm fresh ginger
1 small potato
½ butternut squash
½ red & ½ green pepper
Button mushrooms
½ mug frozen petit pois peas
½ tin chickpeas
2 tsp natural yoghurt / weight watcher cream
1 tsp chopped fresh coriander


Method
1. Prepare all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to a high setting – 200oC. Peel, half, remove the seeds and dice the butternut squash into large cubes.
2. Put on a saucepan of water to boil for the rice.
3. Spritz with spray oil, season and roast for 20/25mins.
4. Dice the onion, garlic and chilli. Peel and dice the ginger very finely.
