Healthy Chicken Korma Curry with yoghurt

This healthy Chicken Korma curry uses natural yoghurt and is a lighter version of a traditional korma made with coconut milk or cream. The yoghurt still gives it a nice creamy texture, but without all those extra calories. It's also a handy recipe for using up any leftover roast chicken.

Notes

The Nutritional information is just for the curry and excludes any sides such as rice or naan bread.

This recipe lends itself well to using up leftovers. If you've got leftover chicken from a roast a curry is a great way to use it up. If you don't have enough, you can add some fresh chicken but just remember that you can only reheat leftovers once.

Storage

This Chicken Korma curry will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Remember, if you've used leftover chicken though, you shouldn't re-heat it. It will keep well in the freezer for 3 - 4 months. After that time, the quality and texture may start to deteriorate a little, but it will still be safe to eat.
