This estimated Syn Free Chicken Jalfrezi is the PERFECT unofficial Slimming World curry for the family. It's also a doddle to make as it's a one-pan wonder!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Indian food.
Unfortunately it's not my other half's favourite, but I kid you not, the first surprise when I joined a diet club is that Slimming World curries were equally as delicious!
So now when I flick through charity shops' books, I can never resist a cookbook like Fat-Free Indian by Husain & Kanani.
At first glance, it looks rather dated, but don't let that put you off; it's got the best index of recipes compared to my other ones.
And I'm even more determined, seeing 2016 as a fresh start to add more unofficial Slimming World curry recipes to my list.
I've said it time and time again, I rarely order anything other than a Bhuna when getting a takeaway. But at home I don't like to cook the same thing too often.
How else can learn new things, eh?
Variety, people!
So I took a chance on by adapting their Chicken Jalfrezi into a healthy one curry. And it really is yummy. Better still, it's quite quick. So here it is if you're looking for something different to try too.
If you like this, then you'll probably love my healthy Chicken Bhuna which is my all-time favourite curry.
