Looking through an Indian takeaway menu but when I put pretty much all of it thought the Syn calculator it doesn't find any matches!! Argh! I want something called Lemon Chana Chicken but no idea how many Syns it is? It sounds like it could be low as its described as: "Tender pieces of chicken, freshly chopped lemon and chickpeas delicately blended with chefs own mixture". Can anyone help?

 

[Dougal1983]

I know its too late but what about synning it like lemon chicken from Chinese?! I know its not the same but maybe similar. Im probably wrong though lol

Here's the recipes:

Mince Parcels (1 Syn each)

1 pit of filo pastry sheets
Mincemeat
Icing sugar to dust

Cut each filo sheet into 6 squares. Layer 3 squares diagonally, put a tsp of mincemeat on top. Gather up the edges and twist into a parcel. Place in a hot oven for a couple of minutes until golden. Place on a serving plate and dust with icing sugar before serving.

Cinnamon Swirls (1 Syn each)

1 pkt ready rolled puff pastry sheets ( if you use light ones, even less Syns!)
2 tbsp granulated sweetener
2 tbsp "half" sugar (Silver Spoon)
2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Unroll the pastry sheets and lay flat on a floured work surface.
Mix the cinnamon, sweetener and sugar together and cover the surface of the pastry sheets.
Roll up from the long side and 'glue' down the edge using a little water.
using a sharp knife, slice into 18 swirls per sheet, place on a baking tray and cook for 10-15 mins at 180/gas 5.
Leave to cool slightly then serve still warm

Both very simple to make and very enjoyable to eat, ESP the cinnamon swirls! X
