This Syn Free Quick and Easy Chicken Madras is a deeply flavoured Indian curry that is on the table in less than 35 minutes. If you’re a curry fan and like it spicy, this dish is perfect for you.
It is well known on this blog that I love Indian food. I really do love it! It would be one of my go to takeaways and we cook Indian influenced food at least once per week. One of the first recipes I created for this blog back in 2015 was a Chicken Tikka Masala. This was an instant hit and is still one of my most popular recipes to this day.
Even though my usual favourites are Kormas and Tikka masala, sometimes I fancy something with a little bit more of a kick. So yesterday I adapted an old recipe of mine (that uses heavy amounts of oil) and changed it into a healthy and most importantly Slimming World friendly version. I present to you the most delicious Chicken Madras you will find away from the local takeaway.
WHY IS THIS CHICKEN MADRAS SO GOOD?

IS THIS RECIPE SUITABLE FOR FREEZING?
Absolutely, this curry can be stored in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for 3 days or the freezer for 1 month. Remember to defrost before reheating in the microwave for 2 – 3 minutes.
IS THIS RECIPE SLIMMING WORLD FRIENDLY?
Indeed it is… I have adapted an old recipe that uses a huge amount of oil to make is completley Syn Free when following the Slimming World plan.
