At the moment I seem to be living off
microwave meals. Only cooking for myself and having little time in the evening
is something I am just not used to. Microwave meals are a great option for me
at the moment whilst I continue my work experience at Dinosaur PR.
Yesterday, for some odd reason, I was
craving curry. Luckily enough, as a treat, my mum bought me a Look What We Found!
Staffordshire Chicken Tikka with basmati rice. Now my mum is a little bit
obsessed with local food. She loves the farm shops near by….she grows her own
herbs and will buy British at every opportunity. My mum immediately loved this
brand as much as I did, and occasionally buys some of their meals for me. So as
some treats for this week she packed me off to York with Staffordshire Chicken
Curry and Casserole. Nom nom nom!
The best thing I found with this meal is
that I had the one with rice included, and it was still only 378 calories for
the portion! I was so surprised because rice dishes are usually really weighty
on the calories side, as well as the fact that curry and rice is almost
impossible to get under 500 calories. So I popped it in the microwave, put the
kettle on and put some salad in my bowl just to bulk it out a bit. 2 minutes
later, I had the curry I was craving all day! What more can you want!
The curry had plenty of chicken in which
really impressed me. This seems to be a common feature with the Look What We
Found! range. There is always plenty of protein, which I love because it keeps
you fuller for longer.
A chicken tikka is usually medium spice,
but sometimes ready meal companies can get it wrong…sometimes to spicy and
sometimes completely tasteless. Some how Look What We Found! captured the taste
of the type of chicken tikka you can get from a restaurant, apart from the fact
that there was better chicken and it tasted a lot fresher!
