According to my sw book tandori chicken is 9 syns for a 340g serving and pilau rice is 2.5 syns for 180g serving (boiled rice is free) so that isnt a bad option. Obviously nans are very high syns popadums are about 4 each and dips are synned too.
Dhansak is a lentil based sauce and a chicken dhansak is 6 syns for 350g serving I'd say jalfrezi is another reasonable one 8.5 syns for 350g serving of chicken jalfrezi or 7.5 for a veggie one

[Wicca303]

Just had leftover tomato and mozzarella pasta bake from earlier in the week.

Tomorrow i'm doing a coq au vin in the slow cooker, the syns for the glass of wine and tbsp flour aren't that bad when it's portioned out. About 1.5 per serving. Haven't decided whther tomorrow will be red or EE so not sure what i'm having with it.
