    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.
