I love curry but I've always found its a bit grainy when i put dry spices in. So now I just fry off some meat, garlic, mixed herbs mushrooms and spring onions . Stir in a tablespoon of pataks paste (i use rogan josh) then add a dollop of cream depending on how hot you want it.
If I'm on my own and my fussy other half isnt with me I'll also put in a few chilli flakes for an extra kick.
It tastes lush and it only takes bout 15 - 20 mins

Good morning,
I am not sure whether or not this deserves to be called a recipe, however I like it and thought I might share.
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts
Spinach and parmesan pesto
Red peppers
Salt
a drizzle of oil.
Preparation:
coat an oven tray with the oil, place the chicken breasts in the tray, preheat the over at 180 degrees C, make an incision in each of the chicken breasts and put some pesto in it. coat the breasts with pesto too and slice red peppers. Place the red peppers on top of the chicken, cover the tray tightly with foil and place the whole thing in the oven for 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the amount of chicken in the tray.
The chicken comes out moist and delicious

Almond biscuits
The super easy version.
200g ground almonds (18g carbs)
2 egg whites (0g)
6 tsp splenda (3g)
1 tsp cinnamon (0.5g)
Preheat oven to 170'c
-Mix all dry ingredients together
-Add egg whites
-Stir well to combine
-On greaseproof paper place tiny balls of the mixture about an inch apart. Note you will not be using all the mixture at all yet, this is a recipe for a few batches
-Place a layer of cling film over baking sheet and using something with an indented bottom about 2inches wide, i used my cinnamon container, to press down on each biscuit. This should create a perfect cookie shape.
-Stick them in the oven for 15-20mins
-Repeat until mixture is all used up
Makes approx 45-50 biscuits..
Can be frozen

Hmm.. I might have another speedy recipe for you, if you don't already know it. About 12 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts cubed
Garlic chopped
Parmesan
Green pesto (any kind will do, I love Rocket Pesto mmmmm)
a little milk
Salt
Pepper
little oil
Preparation:
heat the oil in a pan, chuck the chicken in it, ensure it's nicely sealed. lower the heat, chuck the garlic in and fry but ensure it doesnt go too dark. After the garlic is nice and fried, add the pesto (as much as you like and as much as carbs permit) stir everything well, add a tiny little bit of milk for lubrication (philly might do the trick? Im not sure), add parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and a little black pepper.
let it simmer for a few minutes till the chicken is fully cooked but juicy.
Enjoy
