Low calorie/fat Curry Sauce Recipe

This is a real easy curry sauce to make it takes less than half an hour to make it. OK what you need is:

1 x medium sized brown onion

2 x cloves of garlic

100ml (3.5 fl oz) of vegetable stock (or it can be chicken, lamb, beef stock etc)

3 x tablespoon artificial sweetener ( Canderel or any other shops own brand sweetener)

1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes

2 x teaspoon chopped dried mint or or the equivalent of fresh mint.

2 x teaspoon ground coriander seeds

1 x teaspoon finely grated/chopped root ginger

100g (3.5 oz) very low fat natural yogurt or very low fat fromage frais or Quark

1 x tablespoon mild/hot/Tikka etc curry powder (more to taste if desired)

1. Peel and chop the onion and garlic roughly. Put a little olive oil or Fry Lite in a pan, add the onion, garlic and root ginger to the pan and fry on a medium heat for a few minutes until soft and browned.

2. Add the curry powder and herbs to the vegetables and mix, fry for a few more minutes to let the lovely flavours come out.

3. Then add the tinned tomatoes and the stock to the pan. Bring to simmering point and add the artificial sweetener.

4. Let the curry simmer for 10 more minutes.

5. Take of the heat and use a hand blender to blitz the curry, to your liking. Myself I make it into a smooth lump free sauce, but its entirely up to you how you like it.

6. Bring back to the hob on a low heat, and add the yogurt, fromage frais or Quark to the curry to give it a creamy flavour/texture.

Now your curry sauce is ready, it makes quite a good amount so I normally save half of it by freezing it, it freezes well just put it in a Tupperware.

You can leave it quite chunky if you like, but as mentioned I have mine smooth and then add it to my chopped onions, mushrooms, peppers etc and my chopped meat, chicken, turkey fish etc like you would if you purchased it as a jar curry from the store, but it a lot better than one of those curry sauces! You can use more or less of the herbs/curry powder to your liking the above is just a guide. Happy cooking.
