Syns per serving - Free

160g fat-free natural yogurt
seeds from 6 cardamom pods, crushed
juice of 1 lime, plus wedges to serve
6 garlic cloves, crushed
6cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
4 tbsp tikka curry powder
8 large skinless and boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
low-calorie cooking spray
1 large onion, finely chopped
500g passata
4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, plus extra to serve

Put 100g yogurt in a large bowl and stir in the cardamom, lime juice, half of the garlic, half of the ginger and half of the tikka powder. Add the chicken and toss well, then season lightly, cover and marinate in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight if possible. (If you’re in a hurry, 30 minutes is better than nothing!)
Spray a wide non-stick saucepan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and the rest of the garlic and ginger, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the passata, coriander and remaining tikka powder and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer briskly for 20-30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high and line a baking tray with foil. Arrange the chicken chunks on the baking tray and grill for 15 minutes or until cooked through, turning them occasionally.

Blitz the sauce until smooth using a stick blender (or use a food processor and return to the pan). Bring back to a simmer, then season to taste, remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the yogurt. Stir the chicken chunks into the sauce and serve with lime wedges, rice, speed veg or salad
and the extra coriander scattered over.
