Butter Chicken


This is a delicious, warming and totally satisfying dish - and you won't believe it's low-calorie!  It comes in at 295 calories per serve (including the pappadums) but you can add rice & veges for an extra boost too.   This is one of my new favourites!

Ingredients (serves 4)
400g chicken breast, diced
1 small onion
1.5 tablespoons tandoori curry paste
400g tin crushed tomatoes
400g tin lentils
1⁄2 cup chicken stock
50ml light cream
40g pappadams

Method
Dice onion finely and cook in a non stick pan over a low heat until soft.  Increase heat. Add chicken and cook until brown.

Add curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.  Add crushed tomatoes, stock & lentils. Bring to the boil & reduce heat; simmer for 30 min, stirring occasionally until sauce is thick.

Add cream and heat for a further minute, add a bit of water if it is too thick for your liking.

Lightly spray pappadams with oil & microwave on a paper towel for 45 sec or until they puff up. Serve.
