2 Aubergines
500g Beef, Stewing Steak,
1 Can/400ml Coconut, Milk, Low Fat,
2tbls/40g Curry Paste, Red Thai,
2 Sm Onions
2 Tsps/10g Garlic Puree
1 Tsp/3g Chillies, Dried, Flakes
1 Cube/5.8g Stock Cubes, Beef, Dry Weight, Oxo

Method
Chop all veggies into bitesize chunks.

If you are making this in a slow cooker, bung it all in, give it a stir and leave for as long as you like!

Posted this before I saw that you didn't eat steak, it worls nice with pork too and I'm sure it would be good with chicken.

If you are cooking on the hob, fry off the onion and garlic until golden.

Add the beef and brown it on all sides.

Add the aubergine and coat it in all the pan loveliness.

Stir in the curry paste, coconut milk and stock cube.

Leave to simmer until the beef is tender, the aubergine is smooshy and the sauce is nom.

Enjoy!

This is a fab chicken recipe too, tastes just like chip shop curry sauce.

To be extra good, add prawns or make egg fried rice, we have a bag of prawn crackers with this... yum

Its fab and you can just make it spicier by adding more or hotter curry paste. I normally use Thai yellow as I prefer that to the red.

Its one of my favourites, it seems like a lot of curry powder when you 1st make it but its really tasty.

That sounds so yummy!!

I make satay chicken using chicken, onions, mushrooms, waterchesnuts, Low fat coco milk (1/4ish can), chicken bovril (enough to make more saucy, tablespoon 0% total greek yoghurt, curry powder and a table spoons peanut butter.... Its so so nice

Also make salmon pasta using salmon, onion, mushrooms, green beans, spinach, chilli powder, light sweet chilli philadelphia, tablespoon sweet chilli sauce and greek yoghurt..... Lush also

Tuna/chicken salad pocket. It has everything you will need to make a meal. Lettuce, tomato and whole wheat salad pockets and Starkist Tuna or Chicken. Very filling and good for you. No cooking unless you just want to then boil a chicken breast and dice it up. Yummy indeed.
