Syn Free Chicken Rogan Josh | Slimming World Recipe

Happy weekend lovely followers.. how are you all? I hope everyone is going strong on plan and most of you are enjoying some sunshine.

It is almost getting into “salad” season but for now I am still holding on to some of the stodgy winter warmers.

I have had an experiment in the kitchen with some spices and atempted to create a delicious Rogan Josh. Using only a small amount of chilli means this curry is not hot at all. (But feel free to go as crazy as you like and add more chilli for a much hotter curry)




SERVINGS: 2 – 3
SYNS: ZERO


Please don’t be alarmed by the amount of spices used in this recipe.. the best Slimming World follower has a fully stocked spice cupboard meaning these recipes become easy to follow as you already have at least 80% of the ingredients each time. A tip from me is buy your spices in bulk (I always buy mine from Amazon) or look for the big spice bags from your supermarkets rather than the little glass jars.

This recipe can be made with Chicken, Beef or Lamb (just change the Stock cubes accordingly..). I went for Chicken this week as I am not a massive fan of lamb (and lets face it beef is just expensive most of the time)

This is a great batch cooking recipe and would work well from the freezer too.. I would suggest keeping in the fridge for no longer than 2 days after cooking.

You will need a food processor or blender to create the curry paste.. It would be very difficult without this.

The paste will need to be created and meat marinated for 24 hours to please remember to pre prep for this recipe.

I highly recommend spending extra and going for the genuine Nutribullet.. I have had cheaper blenders in the past and they break under pressure.. my Nutribullet is still going strong 3 years later and trust me it gets put under a lot of pressure with all of this recipe creating 🙂

An amazing added treat to this meal would be my Syn Free Onion Bhajis.. I didn’t have time yesterday but I will certainly be adding them next time. I LOVE creating a little Indian Fakeaway banquet especially at the weekends. It helps me to feel like I am not missing out on something…

Anyway on to the recipe.. I hope you all enjoy creating and tasting. Please remember to comment below with any changes or ideas.

    Looks like a really yummy recipe. I do find though that fat free natural yoghurt is quite unstable when stirred into hot food and always splits. I guess yoghurt with fat in it is less likely to split but that’s not very slimming world friendly! Would be interested to hear if you have a tip to make this without the yoghurt splitting.

    Cooked this tonight, 12.5.18, after marinating meat and making the paste the day before, WOW, first ever curry ive made without a jar of sauce and me and my partner really enjoyed it and thought it was really tasty. I would deffo make it again and cant beleive its syn free, why do folk go to fast food outlets, theres no comparison with good home cooking. I hate take-aways, and am very grateful to Fatgirlskinny for this recipe, amazing, well done.
    I just wish you could educate the world to eat syn free good home cooked lovely food like this, and everyone would be better off, even the NHS!
