Serves 4
 
700g diced chicken or 4 chicken breasts
284ml or ½ pint very low fat natural yogurt.
2 tsp turmeric
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 large onions, sliced
426 ml or ¾ pint chicken stock made with Bovril
3 cardamon pods
1" piece Cinnamon stick
4 black peppercorns
4 cloves
1 tsp crushed coriander seeds
1 tbsp finely chopped root ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
½tsp chilli powder
salt and ground black pepper


Slice the chicken and place in a bowl.
Mix together the yoghurt, turmeric and garlic, pour over the chicken and stir. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight if wished).
Put the onion and stock in a large saucepan, cover and bring to the boil.
Boil for 10 minutes then reduce the heat, uncover the pan and cook gently for 20 minutes, until the onion is tender, golden and syrupy.
Add all the spices to the pan, and cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and allow to cool a little (so the yoghurt doesn't split) Then add the chicken and the yogurt marinade. Cover the pan and simmer very gently over a low heat for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
 
As I was having a red day instead or rice or pasta I had mine with beansprouts.
 

I lost my way but now I'm back

So as you can see (if anyone actually reads this) I haven't been on for a couple of months, with my 30th birthday (which I went away with a group of friends for) and Christmas (which in my house is not just 1 day of nice food and overindulging, it is a full week between Christmas and New Year) I strayed completely off the Slimming World path. But I am now back on it and feeling better about myself again. I was starting to feel really down all the time but with no reason, being back on Slimming World now I think the reason behind it was somehow something to do with all the rubbish I was putting in my mouth as since I have been back following Slimming World I have felt much better. I've starting going to Zumba which I have to say I love, love, love. I am completely and utterly rubbish at it and have no rhythm or coordination but it is great fun and such a good laugh.
