Weight Loss and Fitness Boot Camp Balti

Having had a discussion on the last weight loss and fitness boot camp in Norfolk about Indian takeaways, I ventured that I was given a new slow cooker for Christmas & had been making vegetable balti that comes out that tasty takeaways are no longer even thought about! Ok so that may be a slight exaggeration but I did promise to pass the recipe on & as I seem to have already deviated off my usual rails this week I’m staying on that train & throwing a food recipe on the tracks!

Vegetable Balti

1 Onion

2 Garlic cloves (chopped)

3 tbsp balti paste

2 tomato puree

1 tin tomatoes

300ml vegetable stock

Butternut squash

Cauliflower florets

Courgette

Carrot

Fine beans

I have put no quantities for the veg as I tend to see what I have & fill the pot from there, I don’t like wasting food so similarly I’ve added other veg if it needs using (I currently have one on the go with broccoli in it). If you’ve the time & inclination pan fry the onion & garlic first, then add the puree, paste & tomatoes & add to the slow cooker, though it works fine if you just throw everything in! Last note: ideally make it up the day before you want it & switch it on to low the next day for about 6 hours (or about 4 hours on high). Bon appetite!  Oh and a quick announcement - If you live in the London area and looking for the London FitFarms holistic weight loss boot camp we will soon be collecting from London Heathrow and taking you straight to the fabulous Norfolk Retreat which is close to Holkham beach.
