Reduced fat and calorie chicken korma

 We've been vey good over lockdown and eaten very little takeaway food, but last week we caved and decided to order a takeaway curry.  We went on the website to order and couldn't find an option to get it delivered and so we were gutted :-(  I did a quick web search and came across this recipe for a "restaurant style chicken korma" and decided to give it a try.  I was a bit concerned though that it uses quite a bit f cream to make the curry, so it was very high in fat and calories.  As we're both trying to lose weight I thought I'd try and reduce he calorie intake while keeping to the spirit of it.  I was really pleased with th results, it really does taste like a good takeaway, so we'll be having this again :-)

PS all orders will be for collection only and you'll need to order two weeks in advance!!!!!



Follow the recipe here: Indian Takeaway Chicken Korma - BBC Good Food but for the base curry sauce use a third of the ingredients for one dish - which is plenty for two people.  

Use fry light instead of oil and if it gets too dry add a dash of water instead of oil.

I left out the sugar, it wasn't needed, and instead of cream I used about 20ml of soya single cream and two to three tablespoons of quark.
