GREEN MASALA CURRY
GREEN MASALA CURRY serves 4
ORIGINAL 2 1/2 EXTRA EASY 2 1/2 syns
For the green masala paste
1 onion - finely chopped
fry light
4 large handfuls of fresh coriander - roughly chopped reserving a few leaves for garnish.
2 large handfuls of fresh mint leaves.
1-2 chillies
5 garlic cloves - peeled
1" piece of ginger - finely grated
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
juice of 1 lime
For the curry
4 skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
7fl oz/198mls reduced fat coconut milk
14fl oz/397mls chicken stock
salt and pepper
1 red chilli - de-seeded and finely chopped.
METHOD
Fry the onion in fry light over a medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a food processor with the remaining masala paste ingredients and blend well, adding a few tablespoons of the stock if it is too thick.
Heat a deep pan sprayed with fry light and add the paste, bay leaf and chicken pieces. Stir fry over a medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes, making sure the paste does not stick to the pan. If it starts to do so just add a splash of water.
Stir in the coconut milk and stock, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Season to taste, then scatter over the chopped chilli, serve garnished with coriander.
Coriander - I used 1 bunch of coriander which I buy from the Indian shop not a supermarket.(a bigger bunch for much less money) Chopped the roots off and took out the thicker, woody stems then put leaves and thin stems in the processor.
Juice of a lime - either use bottled lime juice or lemon juice.
Easy way to peel ginger - do it with a tea spoon - draw the spoon down the ginger and the peel comes off very easily.
Didn't bother to grate it just put it in the processor with the leaves.

Friday night is veggie curry night. GREEN
Dal and spinach with rice - mushroom curry - cabbage and carrot curry - black-eyed bean curry.
13 sysns for the whole lot - 3 x 2 syns for 1 tsp oil to fry spices in cabbage and carrot, black-eyed bean and mushroom curries and 7 for the coconut powder in the cabbage and carrot. (Fry lite does not cook out the spices IMO)
But all the curries makes 7 meals so really just under 2 syns each.

Lots of veg and tuna pasta
GREEN DAY - plus tuna syns - however much you use.
Aubergine, courgette, onion, celery, mushroom and tinned tomato ratatouille with garlic and spices.
The pasta is lovely Aldi Conchiglie Gourmet pasta - looks and tastes nice.
Then add some drained water canned tuna and 25gms of cheese - a bit of cheddar and some parmesan.
What is left tonight has gone in a lock and lock box (the best thing ever invented) ready for tomorrow lunch with some salad and baby bel cheese.

I also had some salad with this but ate it before we remembered to photograph it - must do a salad bowl and keep it on file to put it at the side of the photos.
