I don't eat meat so have not tried either but are both rated as v. good.
 
I made this one yesterday and it was gorgeous...


Coat diced chicken breast in 2 tbsp tikka powder, 1 chilli, 3 crushed garlic cloves, salt and pepper and leave to one side.

Use fry light to fry 1 diced onion until it just starts to soften and then add the chicken and fry until browned. Add 2 more tbsp of tikka powder, fry for a minute or two and then add passata (about 400g per 2 servings), 1-2 tsp sweetner, and 200ml chicken stock. Leave it to simmer for 15-20 mins, check for spice and sweetness etc and adjust if needed.

Take it off the heat so it cools slightly (but still hot enough to eat) and add about 4 or 5 tbsp of FF natural yoghurt or fromage frais. T
ake the fromage frais/yoghurt out of the fridge before you start cooking so its not really cold when i put it in the curry, otherwise it cools it right down, and if you need to heat it up again it might curdle.
