However, served with rice and rotis for dipping and a gorgeous warm curry sauce, this takes comfort food a little bit further. Deliciously creamy and packed with flavour, say hello to your new favourite.

Method
402 calories per serving.
Coat the chicken in the curry powder. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat on the hob and spray with low-calorie oil spray. Add the chicken and fry for 1 minute.
Add the chicken and all the curry sauce ingredients, except the sultanas, to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours. Add the sultanas for the last hour of cooking.
Garnish with fresh coriander and spring onions, and serve with rice.
TIP If you’re in a rush, you can skip the first step of the method and just add the chicken and curry powder straight into the slow cooker in step 2. It’ll taste just as delicious.
