Low Fat Chicken Korma

Curries & spice are becoming my new favourite things. This easy little sauce creation takes less than a minute really to prepare and is delicious – just like the real thing!

I often pair the sauce with roast chicken drumsticks I buy from Lidl & brocolli & green beans for a lower carbohydrate meal, with a higher fat content! At lunch time I don’t really fancy a load of CHO and prefer them late at night and in the morning!

Chicken Korma originates from India and is a popular dish that usually consists of cream and yoghurt – making it thick and usually high in fat! Substitute this with low fat yogurt (can use greek or natural) lowers the overall fat content & kcals of the dish!
