get a jar of low fat cooking sauce...
I saw a recipe for tikka masala on the weighless.co.uk website
Hay ... fond of chicken tikka and avoiding fats?


contradiction ..............
tesco's do one.
Asda do a low fat tikka cook in sauce that is very tasty.
Chicken tikka is actually a fairly low-fat recipe in itself- here's my version:





Marinade skinned chicken breasts in a mixture of tikka paste (shop-bought with the excess oil drained off- or you can make your own with a mixture of: 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon coriander seeds- roasted and ground, 2 teaspoons garlic - minced, 2 teaspoons ginger, fresh - grated, 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white wine vinegar, a drop of red food colouring, plus enough veg oil to make it paste-like), natural yoghurt (use a low fat version if you like) and coriander leaf if you can get it - for a few hours (or as long as you have). Then lift the chicken bits out and grill, bake or barbeque them for c.20 mins.
