Healthy Chicken Korma
(4 servings)
If you love curry & chicken, have elevated cholesterol, and want to lose weight, try substituting regular coconut milk with a light coconut milk or greek style yoghurt. Be careful while adding the greek yogurt, turn down temperature and then add to pan so yogurt won’t separate.
Choosing a recipe from healthyfood, which requires no marinating of the chicken, start by toasting the coriander seeds (1 tsp), cumin seeds (1tsp) and garman masala (1 tsp) for 1-2 min until fragrant. Transfer to a mini food processor and blend to a powder, adding garlic (2 cloves), crushed, green chillies (2) , tomato paste (2Tbsp), 1/3c flaked almonds and 1/4c sliced ginger plus water (4 Tbsp),
Cook 4 chicken breasts (4 servings) with onions (2 small) for 5 min in olive oil (1 Tbsp) , adding tumeric and spice paste, cooking a further 3-4 min until fragrant. Turn down temperature (so yogurt won’t separate) add 1 tsp sugar and greek yogurt. Toast coconut 2 Tbsp) a few minutes.
Add fresh coriander (2 Tbsp), sprinkle with toasted coconut, and and serve with lime wedge.

Eating whole foods!

Is this so difficult, planting vegetables, picking berries or purchasing fruit from a farmer or local grocery market. These are whole foods that will make your diet sparkle.

So simple to freeze these bountiful berries on a cookie sheet and transfer into a big freezer bag, preserving them for the dark winter days ahead… to top your breakfast cereal or add to a smoothie.

These will add flavonoids, vitamins, fibre and flavour, help fight inflammation and boost the immune system!
