I was a bit sceptical of this recipe as I’m not a big fan of the weight watchers curry sauces in the jars; however, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s pretty good for a low fat curry.

Points value- 5
Ingredients

125g dried rice, basmati
1 medium banana
8 tablespoons natural low fat yoghurt, plain
Salt and black pepper
4 sprigs of coriander to garnish
Instructions
- Mist a large saucepan with spray cooking oil. Sauté onions and apple for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the curry powder.

will find out how its done the Indian way. But I am sure the points will shoot through the roof then.
Yeah, the proper Indian way is much nicer. It’s the almonds, cream and concunut that are used in the normal way that are the killer for the waistline. I have a couple of Indian cookbooks at home, so I must try a Korma out soon and post the recipe.
