Hey guys,

Im a massive curry fan and i know there are Loads of Slimming world versions out there.
I was wondering is there already a curry recipe thread so we could all share our favorite tried and tested curry recipes because i don't want to get into trouble double posting a thread.

Feed back would be great!!!!
Thank you

I've not seen just a curry recipe thread, but I think it's a great idea x
 
Neither have I only curries in amongst other recipes I think this thread will be of value as we all make our SW friendly curries in our own way.
Mine are never the same as I do not have a recipe it depends on what I have in and what
type I feel like OH will eat any but sometimes it really brill other times ok therefore will place my head in gear and as I'm cooking the curry will log it down on here
Hope all log theirs here then we'd have a better choice than the Curry book??
 
Hi folks! I'm also a HUGE curry freak. Chk out a website called Curry Frenzy, they have literally hundreds of recipes 4 take-away style curries which r so easy 2 make SW friendly u'd think they were designed 4 it! lol! I'v also tried several of their pre-packed "diet" curry mixes which I ave "allowed" as syn-free as the ingredient lists only herbs n spices!! :D
 
Excellent guys!!! This shall be our Sharing thread! I just made a Fab curry yesterday with a bit of alteration from the sw curry heaven book! Excellent value to me but for all of you out there I will post some recipes so ye don't have to buy it ;)

Feel free to add recipes and post pics everyone!!! Yum cant wait!!!!

As we all cook curries different every time I will now start writing down what I add as all my curries tend to be chicken (turkey ) or veg
Sometimes they're really yummy others nice but I never remember what I added and in what quantities so it will be a learning curve for me to write and post in here (last weeks curry was really scrummy will have to try and remember for weekend as I have two Christmas meals out this week ? )

Mushy pea curry! Free and superspeed!

For the sauce:
1 tin chopped toms
1 tin mushy peas
1 tin baked beans
1 fried off onion, diced
1 tsp garlic granules
salt and pepper
Tikka powder (as much as you want to taste (average about 1.5 tsp)


Heat all this up together and blitz for a smooth, thick curry sauce, like chip shop curry sauce.
I think add chicken, and veg Ive fried off in Frylight, such as mushrooms, peppers etc

And agreed, the SW book of sauces has some lovely ones :)

I have to try this! i love anything with mushy peas! The only thing I'm missing here is the tikka powder, I've never seen it in any shop here. Is there any suitable substitute I could use such as curry powder or would that ruin the taste?
 
Any curry powder will do really, or perhaps a bit of cumin :)
