Which recipe are you using for tills masala? The only SW version I found looked a bit complicated!

I dont follow the recipe exactly, the first time i did it, it curdled as well. I then tried marinating the chicken in tikka curry powder and yoghurt and grilling it, and it still kind of curdled under the grill! So, this is what i do..
Coat diced chicken breast in 2 tbsp tikka powder, 1 chilli, 3 crushed garlic cloves, salt and pepper and leave to one side.
Use fry light to fry 1 diced onion until it just starts to soften and then add the chicken and fry until browned.
Add 2 more tbsp of tikka powder, fry for a minute or two and then add passata (i usually use 1 carton for 2 people), 1-2 tsp sweetner, and 200ml chicken stock.
Leave it to simmer for 15-20 mins, check for spice and sweetness etc and adjust if needed. I then take it off the heat so it cools slightly (but still hot enough to eat) and add about 4 or 5 tbsp of FF natural yoghurt or fromage frais, but i guess you can add as much as you like depending on how creamy you want it!
I take the fromage frais/yoghurt out of the fridge before i start cooking so its not really cold when i put it in the curry, otherwise it cools it right down, and if you need to heat it up again it might curdle. Its apparently adding the cold yoghurt/fromage to the hot curry that makes it curdle so if you take it off the heat for a few mins it wont curdly at all and its delish

So yesterday ended up being -
Breakfast - None as had a lie in
Lunch - Jacket potato with cheese (HEa), diet coke at the pub
Tea - SW Chicken Tikka Masala, boiled rice, mini poppadom crisps, a fat free yoghurt dip that Laurenporkchop made (FF natural yoghurt, diced cucumber and red onion with mint sauce mixed though, sounds gross but its soooo good), and another dip with diced tomato, red onion and cucumber. I had a chapati as well and some mango chutney, and about 4 mikado daim sticks for 1 syn each, but all in all i'm still well within my syn allowance for the week and dont think i went over too much on syns for the day!
Food diary for Sunday ended up being -
Breakfast - 2 x alpen light bars (HEb)
Lunch - Pasta with bolognese and 2 light laughing cow triangles (2.5 syns)
Snack - Sugar free jelly (0.5 syns), 3 mikado daim (3 syns)
Tea - Sausage casserole (3 light choice sausages, mushrooms, beans, sweetcorn, green beans, peppers, red onion, passata) with jacket potato, 1 tsp lightest butter (1 syn)
I'm going to treat myself to a Highlights 'Fudge' hot chocolate made with milk for my HEa.
I'm going to try and do the same again with 5 syns max a day (even though i havent been 100% successful with that, but still been well within my weekly syns regardless!) because we're having a 'Bridesmaid Sleepover' on saturday night, just as a bit of a bonding sesh as all my Bridesmaids dont know each other really well! Really excited about it and i'm having a day off SW for it, so keeping the syns low Mon-Fri xx
