Curry Loaf

 
 

It's tricky to find cost-effective, filling and slimming world-friendly savoury foods. Slimming World curry loaf is one of those wonderful loopholes.  You'll find the main ingredient Chickpea Dahl in most well-known supermarkets for about £1 / €1.50 per tin. Syn values will vary for each, but here are some common ones:

Aldi Bilash Chickpea Dahl, 1.5 syns per 400g can
Asda Chosen by you Chickpea Dahl, 2 syns per 400g can
Tesco Chickpea Dahl, 1.5 syns per 400g can
Mazadar Chickpea Dahl, 400g Can, Free

The entire loaf made as below is 3.5 syns. Very handy for lunch or a snack, and will keep in the fridge for about 3 days. 

Ingredients:

  • A 400g tin of chickpea dahl (I used Aldi Bilash Vegetable Chickpea Dahl 1.5 syns per can)
  • 100g pack of curry rice (I used Erin Curry Rice for 2 syns a packet)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp curry powder

Method:

  1. Cook up the rice as directed, or until water has been absorbed.
  2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl
  3. Add rice and chickpea dahl to the eggs and mix everything
  4. Spray a loaf tin with Frylight and pour in the mixture
  5. Bake for 35-40 mins at 200 Degrees.

Tip:

For a Syn Free Curry Loaf, use the Mazadar Chickpea Dahl (available in Morrisons and Home Bargains) and Bachelors Curry Rice - both are free! 

Cloud Bread

 

Cloud Bread is a phenomenon. Favoured by low-carb dieters the world over,  this bread alternative is made with four simple ingredients - all slimming world friendly. Perfect for a sandwich, burger bun or meal accompaniment. I also think they would be a great side dish for a "fakeaway" :)

Recipe

  • 3 eggs
  • 200g Fat Free or low fat cottage cheese or Quark
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 tbsp artificial sweetener
  • Pinch of salt and / or herbs of your choice (Optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 145C/300F Degrees
  2. Separate egg yolks from egg whites
  3. Combine the yolks with the cottage cheese, sweetener, baking powder and herbs
  4. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks
  5. Gently fold in the yolk mixture, try to keep the volume of the whites for fluffiness
  6. Spray a flat baking tray with frylight and gently scoop the mixture into even rounds
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes

These will be a lifesaver for those who are really struggling to give up the bread. Have you tried this recipe? What do you think? Please comment below!
