Steps:

  • Peel the onion, garlic and ginger and take the top off the chilli. It's up to you if you want to include the chilli seeds. Chuck the lot into the blender and whizz until finely chopped. Put half of the mixture in a bowl and mix in the yoghurt. Cube the chicken and add to the yoghurt mix. Allow to marinate for at least thirty seven and a half minutes.
  • In a decent saucepan, fry the remaining mixture in a bit of oil for about three minutes then add all of the spices and salt. In the blender, whizz the toms then lob them in the pan and cook on v low heat for about half an hour.
  • Add the chicken and yoghurt mix to the pan, stir and cover. Cook for about forty minutes. Serve with rice. And naan. Lots of naan. In fact, forget the curry, just eat lots of naan...

Tips:

  • Use low-fat or non-fat yogurt or coconut milk: These healthier alternatives can help you cut down on calories and fat without sacrificing flavor.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables are packed with nutrients and fiber, which will help you feel full and satisfied without consuming a lot of calories.
  • Use lean protein: Chicken breast and tofu are both great lean protein options that are low in calories and fat.
  • Go easy on the oil: A little bit of oil can go a long way, so be careful not to overdo it. You can also use cooking spray or a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil you need.
  • Make it a complete meal: Serve your chicken curry with brown rice or quinoa, and a side of vegetables or salad, to make it a complete and satisfying meal.
