I made this for tea last night and it is sooo nice. lipsmacking.gif lipsmacking.gif lipsmacking.gif It is the nicest thing I have had so far on SS and so easy to make and just as good as getting in from an Indian Restaurant. (I missed the Naan bread though!) For anyone who hasn't yet made it, you must.

Chicken Korma
Creamy curry that won't scupper your weight loss
Calories260Checks10Fat (g)12[i]Per serving, serves 2 [/i]</SPAN>

Most savvy-slimmers know that a korma is just about the most calorific curry you can order thanks to cream being one of its main ingredients. Well, here's the Scottish Slimmers version. Just as tasty as the real thing but nowhere near as costly in calories!


Directions
1
Cook onions in a frying pan sprayed with oil until soft and golden. Add a little water if necessary to prevent sticking. Transfer to a blender or food processor together with the evaporated milk and curry paste. Blitz until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan.
2
Cut chicken breasts into cubes. Re-spray frying pan and heat. Add chicken and cook 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through, stirring frequently.
3
Meanwhile, heat the sauce over moderate heat 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously. If it becomes too thick, stir in 1-2 tbsp skimmed milk . Stir in dessicated coconut and season to taste.
4
Stir cooked chicken into sauce and serve sprinkled with toasted flaked almonds.
5
SERVING SUGGESTION: Boil 85g/3 oz basmati rice. Serve each person with half the rice and half the Chicken Korma accompanied by no-Check vegetables. If you serve it this way, count 16 Checks, 13 Fat g (410 calories) per serving.

What you need85g/3ozonion, slicedSpray oil150ml/ ¼ pinthalf-fat evaporated milk (e.g. Carnation Light)1 tbspkorma curry paste (e.g. Patak’s)2 smallskinless chicken breasts1-2 tbspskimmed milk (optional)1 level tbspdessicated coconutSalt2 tspflaked almonds, lightly toasted1 tspfinely

This is one of my many favs too and the other half loves it too! As I don't like coconut, I leave this out but I do have the ww nann bread with it too! lipsmacking.gif

Yummy yummy I love chicken Korma always have that if at an indian, Will defo try this reciepe out but without the almonds I think. Also what would checks be if using wholegrain rice instead of basmatic rice???
tico
I think all rice is the same number of checks but I could be wrong biggrin.gif

Thank you for this thread -
I made it last night based on what you and others said and it was better than a takeaway and will be a firm weekly favourite in this house from now on!

Made this for the first time on Tuesday night and I thought it was very tasty however my DH thought that there was something missing.......probably the full fat cream that you would normal get in a Korma.

As I had plenty of checks available I had mine with a small naan and 2 pappodum's........definitely be making again.

Made this for the first time tonight, I liked it but thought it was a bit dry, I didn't add any extra milk, do you think the milk would take away some of the dryness?

That's odd that it was dry, was it the sauce or the chicken? Sorry I can't recall if I added the milk but probably did
MAXRIDDLES
There seemed to be not enough sauce to go with the rice, making it quite dry - having it again tonight, will add the extra milk & see if that makes a difference - will report back later !

Still very tasty all the same & easy to make.
