Chicken Jalfrezi

I thought it long overdue that I crack open the Hairy Dieters book from BBC’s Hairy Bikers. The Fakeaways section – low fat versions of popular takeaway dishes- has yielded some stunning results in recent years, so I went back to this for their slimline Chicken Jalfrezi. 

The recipe took me 90 mins to prepare and cook, but was fairly simple. Lots of ingredients- meat, peppers, chillis, tomatoes etc., and lots of spices (my spice drawer is now full). The mixture ended quite watery, but boiling this off gave me time to water a naan and jam it in the oven (which, predictably, I’d forgotten to preheat). 

Result: a hot, fiery curry but tasty and with a few meals’ worth. Well worth the wait.
