Imogen, thank you, thank you!!! My Dh loves curry and I have been looking for a low carb recipe because I have to be careful about my diabetes. I just bought the IR diet book yesterday. Are the two recipes in your post ok for the IR diet? Dh promised he would do the diet with me so that I am not cooking two different dinners and he wants to drop about 30 lbs.
I want to cook him foods that he loves so that he doesn't feel that he is giving anything up by supporting me. Thank you for taking the time to type and post those recipes!

by IR I take it that is Insulin Resistant? I am IR so yes, I presume it is.
CHICKEN KORMA Serves 2
300 grms skinless chicken breasts, cubed
3 tbsp extra- virgin olive oil
2 green cardamom pods
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 slice of fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
I tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp masala
1/2 tsp chilli powder
pinch of rock salt
black pepper
125ml natural yogurt
pinch of paprika to garnish
Heat 2 tblsp of the olive oil in a large frying pan and saute the chicken for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently. REmove the chicken with a perforated spoon, place it in a casserole dish and cover.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan and add the cardamom pods, onion and garlic, and saute for 2-3 minutes. REmove from heat and stir in the ginger, cumin, garam masala, chilli powder and seasoning. Cook over a low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the yogurt gradually, simmer over a low heat for 2-3 minutes and return chicken to the pan. Heat through gently for 3-4 minutes, then serve.
Imogen, yes, I am sorry, I meant insulin resistance. Thank you for the wonderful spice filled recipes!! DH is thrilled and we can't wait to try them this week.

In case anyone was wondering about these recipes...
I made Chicken Tikka the other night and DH couldn't stop raving about it. He loved how the marinade made the kitchen smell and said the taste couldn't top it, then when he ate it he admitted he was wrong and it tasted every bit as good as it smelled.
I am making the lamb curry tonight, so I will see if he likes that one.
thank you again for the recipes!!!
Oh, and it didn't hurt my blood sugar at all!
