Thanks Pete for sharing your fantastic recipes, i'm definitely going to make the cheese and potato pie.
 
Amazing thread just started the slimming world diet and reading through all these recipes has definately motivated and inspired me! They all look so good and are making me hungry :)
 
I got my Panch Phoron from Asda but most asian shops should sell it, it's a mixture of seeds & spices!

I am in HEAVEN ..... Pete your peanut chicken curry is gorgeous! Hubby could not believe it was a diet meal and has already asked when I am going to make it again (we had it for dinner Thursday!!)
 
What an amazing thread !!! Can't wait to try all your recipes Pete, have just printed off the index :)
 
Hi Angelajane.
Our ASDA is in a large Asian area so they have a large Asian section! You can also try Asian shops, they should have it, if you look it up on the internet it tells you what's in it.....

It's our favourite! we have it every week, I will have to have to try a "Curry week" diet!
 
This is my take on this recipe!

1 pack of Sainsbury’s filo pastry (makes 36 pies) (0.8 syns per pie)
1 Egg (ff)
1tbsp Milk
Pack of Low Low Cheese slices (2 syns per slice)

Method

In a small bowl mix the egg & milk together, set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180C.

On a clean, cool surface place the filo sheets on top of each other & cut into 3 strips about 10cm wide, place all the slices on top of each other, remove one and cover the others with a damp cloth.
Working quickly, brush the filo with the egg wash mix, then remove one cheese slice from it’s wrapping, fold diagonally, place at the bottom of the strip & fold the filo diagonally to enclose the cheese & form a triangle, press down & fold again, continue until the end is reached, place on the greaseproof paper & egg wash. Continue until the tray is full.
Cook for approx. 10 mins, remove from the oven & turn the filo over, egg wash & cook for a further 10 mins until cooked & nicely browned, remove & allow to cool.
