Plenty of vegetables, chicken and Asda good to yourself range korma sauce.

What can I have as the 'rice' I really don't want rice, so thinking of alternatives, if any ?

    I had chicken Korma last night and instead of rice, I just add 2 cups of frozen brocoli with it. It really does the trick!

    It's not home made, it's from a jar bought in Asda from their 'diet' range. Sorry to dissapoint haha

    Have you ever tried cauliflower rice? Another MFP friend suggested it to me- just take cauliflower and grade it with a hand grader and it looks like rice. Much less in calories =)

    Is that the diet sauce or the full fat sauce ?

    i think that one is the full fat one actually, but the last time i did a shop i bought the good for you one because i couldn't find the one i normally buy so i hope it tastes as good when i get around to eating it again! i only make this about once a month for a treat!

    I don't think I have much left in the fridge, using up the chicken fillets and veg before they go off. Thanks
