mmmm curry

I love warming foods and have to say this was the easiest and yummiest dinner. We had chicken tikka masala along with spinach and rice, poppadums and raita dip.
It was warming and had a yummy flavour too.
Serves 4 syn free cooking time 25 mins prep time 20 minutes
4 skinless chicken breast fillets
Frylight
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large shallots, peeled and finely grated
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated
½ tsp crushed cardamom seeds

4 tbsp passata
150ml chicken stock
100g fat free natural fromage frais
To serve
Fat free fromage frais

1. Spray the chicken with the low calorie cooking spray and season well. Place under a preheated hot grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once until cooked through. Remove and, when cool, cut into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic along with the crushed cardamom seeds, turmeric and tikka masala powder. Stir-fry for 1 minute before adding the passata.
3. Add the chicken and stock and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, stir in the fromage frais and season to taste.
