How spicy is this recipe?
This is a question that I’m always asked when I’m talking about or sharing Indian food, and it’s a bit of a tricky one to answer.
We’ve all got different tolerances and preferences when it comes to spice, and I’m the first to admit that I like it hot, hot, hot.
You’ll notice in the ingredients list for this Slimming World keema curry, I suggest that you might want to add some dried chilli flakes. Definitely only choose this option if you enjoy your food on the hotter side.
Otherwise, the tikka curry powder simply adds a very small fragrant kick, and the result is family friendly. You can of course add a little extra natural yoghurt if you want to cool things down a little.
How to serve your keema curry
If there’s a shortcut to take in the kitchen that doesn’t compromise on flavour, then I’ll happily take it. That’s why I always keep a box of boil-in-bag rice sachets in the cupboard for serving up curries. There’s no weighing to faff about it, and the result is a fluffy portion of perfectly cooked rice without any hassle.
Alternatively though, you might want to go the whole hog and cook up an Indian fakeaway feast.
These oven baked onion bhajis are Syn free, and have just 125 calories each…
I’m also a big fan of these Syn free Bombay potatoes…
And finally, if you fancy adding another curry into the mix, check out this chicken jalfrezi…
I love a dollop of mango chutney on the side as well… Just make sure that you check the Syns or the calories of your chosen brand if you’re following a weight loss plan.
