This looks lovely, think I will have a go at this over the weekend.
Thanks for posting all these great looking meals, makes things so much easier to have a little help.
Hiya. Was this a slightly different one to the one on Minimins?
it is pretty similar, I just improved the recipe and added some more veggies to bulk it out, to make sure it includes the 1/3 superfree 😉
I cooked this for last night’s dinner after using Patak’s for years. It was really delicious, all the ingredients were in my cupboard so no sweat there. I cooked it in the afternoon but transferred it to the slow cooker. I also cooked the rice your way, it was lovely, and so so easy to make. My husband wants me to make it again this way instead of using the Patak’s, what a compliment.
thanks for all your lovely comments on my recipes. I am glad you are enjoying them.
This is gorgeous, I usually use my own spices but never made it quite like this, the taste is soooo different, really tasty and not overpowering at all. I even made my own garam massala.
Thanks for the recipe.
this was gorgeous, a bit spicy so if you dont like hot stuff just put a bit more yogurt in it! easy enough to make too cant wait to have it again
this was great used chicken breast cant be bothered with thighs
Does the chicken need to be pre cooked? Or will it cook in 30 minutes in the yogurt mixture?
chicken is raw when added to the pan after the onions and spices, you stir to coat with spices and then add other ingredients and cook for 20 mins. 🙂
Thank you so much for your prompt response, as you can tell I’m not a very good cook however managed to make this and it is absolutely delicious.
Do you know if you can freeze or reheat this dish?
Delicious. I used prawns instead of chicken; I’ll make it again
I really love all your recipes and I go to them every time. It’s the best Slimming World site of the lot, even Slimming World itself. Thank you for your wonderful food and I’m going to make this curry today. xx
Can you substitute the ghee with anything please ?
Just tried this and it’s the best curry I have tasted in a long while.
Thank you
ahh thank you Anne – so happy to hear that 🙂
