We never need an excuse to devour the nations favourite dish but a takeaway from a proper chippy can set you back more than your daily allowance of Syns. With this unofficial Slimming World friendly recipe you can create your own low Syn fakeaway.
I have made this recipe twice now, once using the oven and once using my new Actifry. So I am going to include both methods in this post. Did I mention I finally purchase an Actifry? It has taken me a little while to get the hang of it but now I am slightly in love. Creating this unofficial Slimming world friendly fish and chips is probably the best thing I have created with it so far.
In this recipe I am using Panko breadcrumbs worth 3 Syns per serving. But there is another (not as good) but still acceptable option. You can use bread from your healthy extra b allowance and blitz it in a blender. I prefer to allow 3 Syns and use the Panko as the taste and texture is worth it.
