Seen a few people mention this so thought I would post some from my GI diet plan.

All of these are for 1 person so increase as and when required.

Sweet & Sour Chicken Curry

Ingredients
1 piece of fresh ginger (1cm or 0.5 inch) - I use the jars of ready sliced ginger
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp fresh chilli
1 tbs of tomato puree
1/2 tsp of chilli powder
1/4 tsp of cumin
1 pinch of ground coriander
1 tbs of mango chutney
90 g. of chicken fillet
1 tsp of olive oil
1 tbs of low fat yoghurt

Method

Peel the ginger and either grate it or chop it very finely; crush the garlic. Combine the ginger, garlic, tomato puree, and other spices with 2 tbs water to form a paste. Set aside for the moment.
Cut the chicken into strips the size of your little finger. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan or wok and add the chicken pieces.
Cook over a medium-high heat until sealed on all sides and then stir in the spicy tomato puree paste.
Continue to cook over a medium heat for around 8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked though. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
Remove from the heat and stir in the yoghurt.
