Ingredients

  • 300g chicken breast cubed

Marinade:

  • 50g fat-free greek yogurt (fage or supermarket equivalent)

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 0.5 tsp ground ginger

  • 0.5 tsp ground turmeric

  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin

  • 0.5 tsp chilli powder

  • 0.5 tsp salt

Sauce:

  • 60g red onion sliced

  • 160 g tinned chopped tomatoes

  • 100 g fat-free greek yogurt (fage or supermarket equivalent)

  • 10g lighter butter (I used norpak - Aldi lighter butter)

  • 10g garlic purée

  • 5g ginger puree

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1tsp turmeric

  • 0.5 tsp coriander or handful of fresh coriander

  • 0.5 tsp salt

  • 0.5 tsp chilli powder (you can add chill flakes too if you like curry spicy)

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • Half oxo less salt chicken stock dissolved in 150ml water


Method


Make the marinade by mixing the seasonings into the yogurt until well combined. Add in the chicken and mix until the chicken is well coated. Set aside in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.


In a large pan using 1kcal spray cook the chicken until it has browned, about 4 minutes on each side and set aside (keep the chicken warm). The chicken will finish cooking later on in the sauce.


In the same pan, saute the onions until nicely browned, about 4 minutes on a low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for another minute or two. Add in the seasonings, chopped tomatoes, yogurt and butter and simmer for 10 minutes.


Blend the sauce with the water using a hand blender. Add the chicken to the sauce and let this simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Serve hot with a side of rice or with some naan and enjoy!
