if making thai green chicken try half tin of low fat coconut milk and half chicken stock maybe add fat free fromage frais to make it creamier I'm going to try this tonight

almond milk is supposedly a good substitute (but is hard to get in the UK I believe)

failing that you can add some coconut essence to normal milk. However don't use skimmed milk as it is too watery. You need to use semi skimmed milk at the least.

I did a Thai green curry using Philly extra light and skimmed milk. It was lovely. Even OH ate it.

I just found the recipe on the Philli website and posted it here:

Another fan of the philadelphia website version here! Made it a few times and it's scrummy!

Works with Quark and a teaspoon sweetener, just as nice as the philly version but saves your hexa or syns.

 

[pos bird]

Ooh will try the quark version.

Sounds good - how much quark do you use?

I use a whole tub, between my husband and I. I do add Mushrooms, Red Pepper, Red Onion, Mange Tout and Baby Corn as well as the chicken, its a big portion but not stopped me loosing

Could you use the muller light greek style cocunut yoghurts??? x

I have just purchased Maggi Coconut Milk Powder where you just add warm water. I have no idea of the syn value, just thought I would give it a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ermintrude]

It'll be 1 syn per 20 calories. A quick google shows MFP giving it 675 calories per 100g or about 50 per tbsp, so 2.5 syns per tbsp, but that's depend how hard you pack it into the spoon. It isnt going to be cheap

 

[bgtfielding]

Thanks for that. I havent tried it yet, looking at the preparation Thin Coconut milk 1 tbl to 175ml warm water, Thick 3 tbl to 175ml
