So, how is everyone? Busy much? I hope everybody is having the best time of their lives right now. I kind of want to hope that everybody is.
If you are not however, you should seriously think about exercising. No really, take it from me – all those really clever guys that tell us every single day that it is actually good for us? – They’re not lying guys!
Be the best you can be ok? Anyway – back to eating really good food, without feeling bad about your body… This recipe of Chicken Korma with Roasted Sweet Potato is one of those.
This dish consists of a deep, mildly spicy, aromatic curry with tender chicken, served on roasted (deliciously sweet) sweet potato. It is a great Low Carb meal, one that I am sure will get you a round of high fives..
I also found the best recipe for Homemade Naan Bread, but I am still working on my own version before I share it with you! I have to say, I like my curry a bit more saucy – especially if it is served with steamed basmati or naan bread. Do it your way, as long as you enjoy it and ended licking your plate clean…
