Instructions

Tag a Korma lover! This meal prep is a great lower carb alternative if you’re looking to cut back on the calories without cutting out your fave Indian takeaway.

  • Start by dicing the onion and add it to a large saucepan with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sweat the onions for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, measure out your spices and once the onions are translucent add them to the saucepan along with the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken on a low heat for around 3 minutes. The chicken doesn’t have to cook at this stage as it will cook through in the soup/sauce.
  • Pour the coconut milk and chicken stock and lentils. Reduce the heat to a simmer and set a timer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chill out and chop the broccoli (shouldn’t take 30 minutes). Add the broccoli, drained chickpeas & cashews for the remaining 10 minutes.
  • Once the timers up, the soup should’ve thickened and you can pour out into your meal prep containers.
