i thought of treating myself once a month to a takeaway, then i thought why would i want to have something deep fried and unhealthy and ruin all the good work ive done in the last week 12 days!
so, i came up with 'Fakeaways' while laying in bed this morning
on the 1st aug we're going to have an Indian Fakeaway. I'm going to have Chicken Tikka Pieces, with Raita, Salad and (was thinking naan but roti is less cals) Roti for starter.
then for main i'm going have chicken curry with rice
i'll provide my recipes but they are sort of thrown together, was married to an Indian for 5 years so picked up some ideas but he never followed strict recipes!:
CHICKEN TIKKA PIECES
serves 3/4
4 Chicken Breasts (100g = 160 cals)
Natural Yoghurt (lidl milbona 1.5% nat yog is 100g = 59 cals)
Curry Powder
Salt and Pepper
Some skewers if you have them
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dice the chicken breast and add to mixing bowl, add prob 1/2 tub of nat yog and mix, then add about a table spoon of curry powder, heaped or not heaped, depending on how spicy u like it!
add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix it all in so chicken is coated nicely. either leave in fridge for an hour while you make the curry or do it straight away.
put 4/5 pieces of chicken on one skewer a 1cm space in between each piece. do this with all the chicken. if you dont have skewers you can just grill them on a tray but skewers make them easier to turn during cooking.
turn on your grill to about 3/4 and lay the skewers on a tray and cook under the grill for about 9 mins on each side, or until cooked!
FOR THE RAITA
3 or 4 tbsps of nat yog, about an inch of cucumber grated, some chopped mint, mix well and serve with the chicken pieces and some fresh salad leaves.
YUM!!
FOR THE CURRY I USE THIS RECIPE:
Chicken Curry
not sure of exact calorie content but the only sort of creamy thing is the yoghurt on the chicken pieces and thats not much cals at all.
anyone got any other ideas for a fakeaway?
