Healthy Hints

This recipe cleverly cooks the onions, tomatoes and spices in thier own juices rather than adding fat. Remember, although a portion only gives you 200 calories, this is only true when this recipe is cooked wihout added oil and if it serves 6 people.

Cooking Guide

1. Heat a non-stick pot and add the onion, ginger, garlic and tomato. Sauté until soft (about 4 to 5 mins) over a medium heat.

2. Turn the heat down a little and add chicken, spices and tomato puree. Stir well.

3. Add the potatoes and a little bit of water if needed.

4. Cover the pot and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are tender.

5. Once cooked, adjust the spices and add the garam masala.

6. Garnish with coriander (cilantro).

Bonus tip:

Using a non-stick pot/wok will reduce the need for oil in this recipe.
