I make my curry on the hob or if I am really busy, in the oven. You can make it in the slow cooker though.

You will need:-

1 onion
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 green chilli - chopped (optional)
2tbsp curry paste (I use Pataks Madras) 8 syns
2 tbsp tom puree
Beef stock made from bovril
Stewing or Braising steak cut into cubes.

Finely chop the onions and sautee with the ginger using frylight. Once soft, add the chilli and fry for about 2 mins.

Then add the paste and puree. Cook for about 5 mins, add a small bit of stock to stop it from catching.

Then add your beef and enough stock to your preference. You may need to add more during cooking. Let it come to the boil and give it a good stir. Then turn down the heat and cook for about 2.5 hrs.

Or place in a slow cooker on low until required. If oven baking, put in a covered casserole dish for 2 hrs at 160 degrees.

This curry serves 2-4 so max of 4 syns per portion, only 2 if serving 4.

how do you make your home made chicken kebabs ummy
 
Chicken breasts, low fat nat yog (about 3 tbsp), cajun seasoning (about 2 tbsp), chilli flakes (about 2 tsp). Mix all the ingredients together and then marinate for as long as possible.

Cook on a griddle pan, under the grill or on a george foreman. I serve mine with shredded lettuce and red cabbage with a jacket potato on the side and some extra light mayo drizzled on top of the chicken.

Ok. New week, new start. Need to shake things up a bit. I have decided that I am going to WI every Wednesday morning. I am buying my new scales this morning, so I weigh myself tomorrow morning so that I can get a good idea of where I am.

I am also going to cut out all the diet pop that I have been drinking. So, only 1 can with my breakfast and 1 can with my dinner, and I will aim to drink 2 litres of water throughout each day!

I will post my food diary up here every day to keep me on track too, starting tomorrow.
