Fancy a curry but trying your best to be healthy? With this low calorie recipe (opens in new tab), you can get all the taste of a classic creamy chicken korma without any of the guilt – so there’s no need to miss out on curry night. In fact, it’s so tasty that it may just replace your usual curry recipe.
This curry recipe (opens in new tab) is made healthier by switching cream for Greek yogurt, which helps to lighten up the calories and fat but doesn’t compromise on the creamy flavour. With coconut, toasted flaked almonds, garlic and ginger to ramp up the flavour even more, this dish is really special. So whether you want a week night favourite or something to try for a treat at the weekend, it’s a great one to try this week.
This recipe serves four, so it’s the perfect family meal.
