Committing yourself to following a slimming plan or counting calories doesn’t mean that you have to exist on a diet of salad and misery.
Whatever your favourite food, it’s highly likely that you can recreate it without all the extra calories, and without compromising on flavour. It’s just a case of having the right ingredients, methods, and substitutes up your sleeve.
If you’re partial to an Indian, then this slimming chicken jalfrezi will satisfy your cravings and is likely to become a regular feature on your weekend menus.
With just 273 calories per portion, it’s a must-try…
For the full ingredients list and detailed instructions, see the recipe card at the end of this post. Make sure you check out this important information first though…

Ready made sauces and jars are usually packed with a load of hidden ingredients that rack up the calories, and the taste is never quite as satisfying as homemade.
When it comes to the herbs and spices required for cooking an Indian meal though, I’m happy to cut a corner in the form of using Spicentice jalfrezi spices.
