Healthy Mango Chicken Curry Recipies?

I was going towards an Indian curry, while the pastes with lemongrass etc. are generall Thai style curries - both are yummy!

Most of my recipes don't use yogurt in the curry and I tend to avoid the coconut milk ones because of the amount of fat. I do have a few that call for putting the yogurt in while cooking - just at the end and just until hot or it can curdle. There's a delicious chicken cashew nut curry I've made that uses yogurt and I think that saag (sort of a curried creamed spinach that can have cheese or meat in it) has yogurt too. For most curry dishes, without yogurt, I like to make a sauce with yogurt, garlic, salt and cumin to put on top - yum!

Thanks ladies!

I was given the ingredients but not the measurements as the gent was remembering it off the top of his head. I think it'll be easy to make. I want to keep it as low fat as possible..

Eden-the cashew nut curry sounds yummy..

CC, i have a great curry chicken salad. It comes from Paula Dean who is a food network goddess of butter. This doesn't contain butter but it contains mayonaisse which is a close second. I use a prepared chicken already cooked from the local grocery deli (it calls for about 3- 3 1/2 #) of chicken, cubed. I usually pull it apart, looks better.
1 cup chopped celery,
2 cups of seedless grapes, halved
slivered almonds to your liking or you could use water chestnuts drained if you don't like almonds.

The dressing is as follows
1 cup of mayonaisse (i use 3/4 cup and like it better-am experimenting using plain yogurt in place of mayo)
1 tbsp. of prepared mango chutney -i usually use a little more
1 tbsp. of lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp of curry powder
salt to taste
it also calls for 1 tsp. of soy sauce, but have never added that

i bought some cranberry chutney to try also. This recipe when you describe it to people are very hesitant about trying it, i took it to work and they just loved it. i love it. served cold of course.

You can buy low fat coconut milk in the ethnic food section of most grocery stores.

Yeah - when I use it, I use the low fat kind - It still has 30% of the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat in each serving!

I LOVE thai red curry but I would LOVe to find a way to make it half decent without any coconut milk. Has anyone played around with strained plain yogurt or maybe even low fat sour cream?
