I’m going to make a bold statement. This Goan prawn curry is hands down the best curry that I’ve ever made at home. Since it first made its way on to my kitchen table a little while ago, it’s quickly become one of those dishes that I talk about all the time, and I’m always trying to squeeze it in somewhere on our weekly meal plans.

If you’re looking for a Slimming World friendly curry that’s packed full of authentic flavour, then I promise that you definitely won’t regret giving this a try.

Cooking with Spicentice

The trouble with cooking an authentic curry is that it often involves a ton of different ingredients, many of which you might not use again before their use-by date.

This is just one of the reasons why I’m such a big fan of Spicentice when it comes to making impressive dishes from scratch, but without the ridiculously long shopping list, and without spending hours in the kitchen.

When you order their Goan prawn curry kit, you get two sachets of the exact spice mixtures that make this meal taste as amazing as it does.

And as the kits consist of all-natural ingredients and no additives, they’re completely slimming and waistline friendly, meaning that you don’t have to derail your diet.

How does this curry measure up in terms of Syns?

Very well!

There’s just one Syn per portion, due to a little light coconut milk being used in the recipe. 

If you’re a calorie counter, then count 176 calories per portion. Of course, any side dishes or accompaniments will need to be tracked on top.

How to serve your Slimming World Goan prawn curry

I always reckon that if you’re going to do a curry night, you might as well do it properly and pull out all the stops.

A portion of fluffy rice is a given, but you might want to consider adding these side dishes too…

These Syn free onion bhajis are a doddle to make, and you definitely won’t be left missing their greasy takeaway counterparts.

Can’t resist a portion of Bombay potatoes? You can have a bit of what you fancy, completely guilt free.
