Beth’s Curry Chicken Thighs

Curry Powder

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp coriander seeds (cilantro seeds)
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 2 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1½ tbsp black peppercorns
  • 2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 10 green cardamom pods
  • ½tsp ½ salt

Directions:

  • Crack open the cardamom pods and remove the seeds
  • Grind these with the salt, peppercorns, cumin and coriander seeds
  • Sieve into a bowl
  • Add the pre-ground ingredients and mix together

Stored in an airtight container this curry spice will last up to 12 months, but I recommend making up a fresh batch every 3 months.

Note: For the best flavour when making your powders and mixes, I advise using whole spices, sometimes this is not always convenient. Ifyou don’t have whole, it’s perfectly fine to use pre-ground powders, justreduce the quantities you use by about half.

Cream Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. cream cheese (use light make poon friendly)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet stevia (or any) sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

  • Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle.
  • Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray.
  • Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side.
  • Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice)

Notes Approx nutrition info per batch (approx 4x 6in pancakes): 344 calories, 29g fat, 2.5g net carbs, 17g protein (based on regular cream cheese)

Recipe is from www.Ibreatheimhhun

I believe if you substitute light cream cheese these are suitable for phase 1. Light cream cheese is 12g fat per 2oz and egges are 5g fat each so the whole batch is 22g of fat. For phase 1 you can have 1/4 of the recipe for a serving as they it would be 5.5 g of fat and 1 g carb.
