Spicy Beef Curry

Free on red
4 1/2 on green if using beef as a healthy extra

Serves 4 (supposedly!)

2 Onions
5 Garlic cloves
1lb/454g extra lean minced beef
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground tumeric
2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander
1 egg
1pt/568 ml beef stock made with bovril
1 tbsp freshly chopped root ginger
4 cloves
4 cardamom pods
1in/2 1/2 cm piece cinnamon stick
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
3 tomatoes
5 tbsp very low fat natural yogurt

1 Peel and finely chop one onion and peel and crush two garlic cloves. Place in a bowl with the minced beef, 1 tsp cumin, ginger and tumeric, the ground coriander, chilli powder and fresh coriander. Beat the egg and stir into the bowl. Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape into small balls with your hands. Set aside and store in a cool place.

2 Make the sauce: peel and finely chop the remaining onion and peel and crush the remaining garlic. Place in a pan with half the stock, cover and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes, uncover and simmer for 20 minutes until the onions are tender and syrupy.

3 Stir in the remaining spices and cook gently for 2 - 3 minutes. Meanwhile, skin the tomatoes, chop and add to the pan. Stir in the yogurt and then add the remaining stock and heat through until it reaches simmering point.

4 Add the meatballs, cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes. Stir occaisionally to prevent the sauce sticking. If necessary, add more stock or water as the sauce will reduce considerably.

Ooo I've done a similar curry recipe but with chicken. It was actually quite nice, although I would have preferred an Indian takeaway!

Made these last night

Chicken Kievs

2.5 Syns per serving on an Original Day

Serves 4, but I only made 2 and found that was enough.

Need:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp very low fat natural fromage frais
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
3 level tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 small egg, beaten
1oz/28g golden breadcrumbs
Fry Light

1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Use a small sharp knife to slice lengthwise down the side of each chicken breast, taking care not to sever the flesh completely to form a pocket. Season this.

1. Crush the garlic and mix with the fromage frais, parsley & 2 tbsp Parmesan. Spoon the mixture into the pocket and press together to seal. Use a cocktail stick to secure and place the chicken breasts on a sheet of baking parchment.

1. Brush the bottom side of each chicken breast with beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with half the breadcrumbs. Turn over and repeat with more egg and the remaining crumbs. Sprinkle the top lightly with remaining Parmesan.

1. Transfer to a baking sheet and spray with a little Fry Light. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately.

Nice with a jacket potato as a HEb and salad

Oops didn't bold my words right lol.

Titsalina, what temp does the oven have to be for the hotpot?

i made the chicken noodle soup, beef burgers and chips and the cod with spring onion mash all from the EXTRA EASY cookbook, and all FREE on EE !!!! They were all lovely, i was the only one that ate the noodle soup (DH looked and declined and kids were out that night!) but we all ate the other 2 and the burgers were the best apparently!!!
