So, was watching a programme last night called 'Take on the Takeaway' .... and John Burton Race took on an indian takeaway and made his version of a chicken spinach balti ... Now heres the recipe:
What do we all reckon?
And incase anyone is wondering; here are the cooking instructions....
I'd probably mix through some garden peas into the rice also.
- 1inch ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 lime (juice only)
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2tsp chilli powder
- 1/2tsp ground cumin

- 75ml plain yogurt

What do we all reckon?
And incase anyone is wondering; here are the cooking instructions....
- Finely chop the ginger and garlic.
- Sprinkle over the salt and chop a little more and put into a big bowl.
- Add the lime juice and spices and mix well.
- Add the chicken and yogurt and leave to marinate for 15mins.
- Fry the finely chopped onion (i'd dry fry this but i guess you could use frylight - just not on refeed) and add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree and gently cook for 1minute.
- Add the chicken and all the marinade mixture to the pan and add the splash of water.
- Add the double cream (Or in our case, the equilivant but in lf yogurt) and turn up the heat and simmer for around 15mins or untill the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the spinach and cook untill wilted.
- Serve with wholemeal rice.
