    2 sins in the pasta from 1tsp oil per portion.

  • Apparantly Keema just means "minced",so you could adapt any curry recipe into a keema by using minced meat instead of cubed.

    Forgot to say,we have it with rice,not potatoes,and i stick with curry powder not paste(think there would be syns in paste)

    Thanks lovely now if you got a syn free keema naan bread il be a happy bunny LOL i often use the pataks curry paste they are quite low considering the bucket full it makes.x

    I have a really nice keema recipe I have adapted to make low fat....

    fry 1 onion in fry light til really golden, add tin toms, 1 clove garlic,1 inch piece of fresh ginger and 1 chilli and half a bunch coriander chopped, simmer for 10 mins then stir in 300g lean mince (I like lamb but its hard to find really lean lamb mince so extra lean beef is fine) - stir to break up the mince then add 250g frozen peas. Cook for 25 mins - add a splash of water if it looks like its getting too thick. At the end add the other half of the corander chopped, 1 sp garam masarla. Serve with a squeeze of lime.

    I have it with rice on a green day using the mince as healthy extra or with a side of extra superfree veg for EE - maybe a cucumber and tomato salad with ff yog dressing like a riata....you could have it with a small jacket spud on a red day. This would make 4 portions for me.

    Can't help on the naans being syn free - closest I get is mixing equally amounts of ff greek yog with sr flour, a tsp of baking powder and cooking on a griddle - that way only the flour is syns - I reckon you could make a reasonable size naan for 10 syns!
