So pleased to find a plant based jellow for making my Trifle for Christmas so that everyone can eat it. First I went to our health food store and they suggested checking on-line, then I went to our local IGA, and there it was in a variety of flavours & the original unflavoured!!!
The thickener they are using is carrageenan and sweetener is stevia (natural) and erythritol (an alcohol sweetener on the market.
There is also an unflavoured Plant Based Jel which is sugar free.
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.
