Got a recipe for SS curry from our leader last week. It sounds terrible but just try it as OMG its the most amazing curry sauce ever! Its free on F+H plan and not sure about pp but think its about 17pp for whole saucepan full of curry sauce (Open to correction)
Here it is if anyone is interested.
1x400g tin chopped tomatoes
1x420g tin mushy peas
1x420g tin baked beans
2 tablespoons curry powder (whatever strength you like - I used medium)
Blitz it all together with blender/food processor
Instant curry sauce!
I fried some chicken, courgette, carrots and onions until cooked then added half the batch of curry sauce - heated it through and served with cauliflower rice for a Yummy Chicken Curry, easily enough for 2-3 people! Going to freeze the other half and have it for another time.

Hey guys, you can make a curry upteen different ways. And there are healthier ways of doing it - agreed. I'm all for trying out new recipes and having some fun in the kitchen.
But sometimes things don't always work out as you'd like. And sometimes it is tempting to dial in for that takeaway. I think its times like that when recipes like this come in handy. I'm pretty sure its NOT supposed to be an all inclusive ready to go meal. It is a base to which you add your vegetables and meat. And as beans and peas are a source of protein and fibre it is still surely a better alternative to a take-away curry? Just my humble opinion.0 -
Carrot and coriander soup made, week 7 day 1 couch to 5k just completed, i cycled from town whatever distance that is, squats and planking to be done before bed (ive been avoiding the planks, thanks for the reminder Judy!!) - and I've got breakfast lunch and dinner organised for tomorrow! No excercise officially planned for tomorrow so think I will try a yoga video on youtube and do my planks and squats. Maybe untangle the skipping rope for a quick jaunt!
It seems a bit fast to be this many in but I am 14 points into my weeklies since yesterday evening. Seems ok as that means 7 per day. It suits me better to use them in small amounts every day it seems but I stretch it and use them all if i'm feeling particularly good one week and know there's something on. Nothing planned for this weekend as have things to catch up on so I am going to enjoy having a few extra treats throughout the week. I am getting very sick of having so much dairy with the shredded wheat so a breakfast rejig is in order... or almond milk is needed.
I am very much looking forward to plain oul regular porridge tomorrow - i've missed it! Going to have soe honey, cinnamon and almond on it... Yummmmmmmmm!
Wow metime - thats an amazing lot of exercise! Go you!! You're so motivated it makes me want to jump up and start doing something!!!
Goddamit - I better introduce the squats so. Share and share alike! :rolleyes: 0 -

WAHEY!! Feeling the squats in my legs and tum today, could feel my core a bit stronger on tonights run which was great - only two days of squatting! Wonder what it would be like if I kept at it for a month, AND planked....plunk....plankeded...! I am dreading planking a bit but know I need to ....going to try work up to match your 35 seconds in the next week or so!! Has it taken you long to be able to do that? i don't even know what i'm able to do but guess i will know better by tonight lol. also meant t o ask you how you were measuring how fast you were doing your runs? I think you were around 4km p/h, are you using an app or just doing it manually with timing and measuring distance? im into week 7 now - noticed a speed improvement tonight though started off perhaps a bit too fast and nearly didnt make it - i had to stop for traffic tonight, chose a bad route, was raging - added an extra 2 minutes to make up for it - tough but worth it!
ALSO the podcast im doing says that run is 2.5 miles - i measured week 6 day 3 including warm up and down to be just over 5km, ?
I am a bit conscious here of yacking on abut couch to 5k, maybe i should start a new thread ? sorry if annoying anyone! seems to be motivating one or two anyway, perhaps not all bad :-)
and PURPLE PAWPRINTS thats BRILliANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ye thought ye were gonna be up....see!! delighted for ya :-) here's to another great week - you are so close!0 -

Hi Judy, It sounds awful but you have spiked my interest so I will give it a try. Thanks for posting it:)seosamh1980 wrote: »Sorry but tinned, processed mushy peas and beans are of no nutritional value and are a waste of calories, I can't believe a weight loss "professional" actually suggested making that. Curry can be one of the healthiest most delicious meals, what she has suggested is just processed slop. Using something like this with regular veg and meat would be better IMO, I use this and it's fab: www.mrcurry.ie/
Hi Seosamh, Thanks for that I am always looking for new ways to make curry:)0 -

Definitely WELL DONE PURPLE PAWPRINTS! You're flying it!!
Metime - I'm doing the c25k on the treadmill at the moment. Between the two kids and the weather I just amen't able to get out. I'm hoping when things settle down and the little one starts creche in May that I can get out on the roads. So its handy from the point of view that I know the speeds I'm doing but can get a little boring. I much prefer to run outside!
As for the plank - you're waaay fitter than me. Took me 3 weeks to build up to 35seconds. Started off having to struggle to do 10secs!!! Found a 'Power Plank Progression' on google images which I attempted yesterday. 'Attempted' being the operative word - Couldn't manage it at all. So that's the next challenge. :rolleyes:
The good news its it is paying off though! I am now comfortably FITTING into my slim size 16 jeans. Major achievement!! A few more pounds and I'll be in size 14s (*fingers crossed)cauliflour rice .........please do tell !!! sounds great!
This also sounds bizarre but I love it with a curry/indian sauce. Basically, you blitz half a cauliflower head in a food processor (or grate it) then put in a microwaveable bowl and cover - heat for 1-3 mins (depending on your microwave) and it fluffs up a bit. You can use it as a zero pp alternative to rice. Or some people like to mix it up with rice - half and half. 0 -
Hey JudyD might not be the healthiest but I suck at making currys they usually end up quite tasteless but I made this one last week and me and the hubby both loved it! Will definitely be made again in our house! I also made the diet coke chicken and it was delicious!
Hey Lolc, what's the diet coke chicken? I'm intrigued!! 0 -

Well done Slay! I've been eating a lot this week too unfortunately! I used up all of my weekly points in one fell swoop, and I always feel awful when I do that. It feels like I'm stuck for the rest of the week and then I end up going slightly over my daily points. Oh well, I think I managed to reign things in so I hope I can come out of my WI tonight like you and STS at least.
My points went down from 30 to 29 last week, and I have to say that 1 point really does count for me lol.0 -

Hey Lolc, what's the diet coke chicken? I'm intrigued!!
Hi Judy, Ingredients:
400g sliced chicken breast
1 onion, diced
330ml can Diet Coke
6 tablespoons passata
Dash of worcestershire sauce
Fry Light
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Heat a large saute pan and spray with Fry Light
Add the chicken and onion and fry until beginning to colour
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil
Simmer until the sauce thickens and reduces down to about half its volume - approximately 30 minutes
It was nice a bit like barbque sauce0
