OH trying to sabotage my slimming efforts, he's just ordered a curry to be delivered at tea time from the just eat website which i rarely say no to but i had a fair few flexidays last week and on my last slimming world venture, anytime i had bad eats, always showed at the next again weeks WI! i've said no as i've got a lovely lamb steak which i'll have with a spud and a rocket salad on the side. but i think i'll have to leave the house and take a walk or drive out whilst he's munching.

p.s i'd love the madras recipe please!!

Serves 6 (or more like 4 in our house!!)

1 Kg lean beef steak (I use skirt - thrifty and tasty)
2 Tsp Corriander seeds*
2 Tsp Cumin seeds*
1 Tsp Turmeric*
1 Tsp Chilli Powder*
1 Tsp Salt *
3 Tbsp Vinegar (I use white wine vin as it’s always in the cupboard)*
1&1/2 Tsp Black Mustard Seeds
1 Lg Onion
1 Med Onion
2 Cloves Garlic
Thumb Size piece of Ginger
1 or 2 fresh chillies (depends how hot you like it!)
2 Tbsp Tom Puree
Beef Stock
Chopped Corriander (optional)

~ I toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a pan and then grind with the sea salt but you could use ready ground.

1. Cut the beef into largish cubes (remove visible fat) and place in a bowl with the things that have a * next to them to marinade. Set aside while you prepare the rest.
2. Put the lg onion, chillies and peeled ginger and garlic in a food processor and blits for a few secs but you could just chop them fine. Chop the med onion into slices.
3 Heat a large pan sprayed with frylight and add mustard seeds for a minute or two, then add the onion mixture and cook gently for about 10 mins (you want them to brown but not burn.
4 Add the med chopped onion and fry for another minute then add the tom puree and cook for a further 2 mins
5 Add the beef and spice mixture and cook until sealed then add enough stock to just cover the meat.
6 Bring to the boil then turn down the heat and let simmer for about 1 ½ hours until beef is tender and the sauce coats the meat nicely. Sprinkle fresh coriander before serving if you want to.

*** You could also use chicken or other meat in this but you will need to adjust cooking times

Now I feel I need to explain that I do not syn tomato puree, I don’t think it should be synned but if you want to it’s ½ syn per tbsp so 1 syn in the whole meal.
I also realise that there is not enough superfree in this meal, I have tried adding veg to the curry but it wasn’t nice and effected the taste. What I do is get a selection of veg – whatever is in the fridge like babycorn, toms, courgette etc and stir fry those with garlic and curry powder and serve them as a side dish. I make sure at least a third of plate is full with the veg before I add the curry sauce and rice.
