chicken korma

You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes chicken korma but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat chicken korma or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

On my one day off per week, I tend to eat indian food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating indian meals but am very pleased to see it can work. If you want to try some indian food, I propose you make chicken korma which is one of my favourite indian recipes.

Chicken Korma

1 (2 1/2 pound) cut-up chicken
2 cups yogurt
3 cloves garlic
2 medium onions, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, chopped
2 teaspoons peanut or sunflower oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground chili
1 teaspoon cumin
Seeds of 2 peeled cardamom pod
1 teaspoon poppy seed
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped

Place chicken in bowl and marinate in yogurt, 1 clove garlic, half an onion, paprika, ginger, salt and pepper for a few hours. Heat oil in large heavy casserole; gently saut? remaining onion and garlic for 1 minute. Remove and set aside.

Add to casserole the coriander, chili, cumin, cardamom seeds, poppy seed and turmeric. Fry for a few minutes. Add the chicken. Pour enough water to cover and add remaining marinade. Return onion and garlic with bay leaf. Simmer 45 minutes or until chicken is tender. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve.

You can change the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with not so many calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It worked for me and could aid you to lose weight as well.
