This pheasant curry provides approximately 700–800 kcal per serving and to “burn it off” it takes on average about 60–80 minutes of running (or 85–110 minutes of brisk walking) for a man and about 75–95 minutes of running (or 100–130 minutes of brisk walking) for a woman, depending on intensity and body weight.

Preparation

  • Mix all the ingredients and add the pheasant, stirring well to coat evenly. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Cook the tomatoes with the cashews and fenugreek until thick, then blend until smooth. In another pan, melt the butter with the oil, add onion and ginger and sweat gently. Add the spices, then the tomato sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Brown the pheasant in a pan, then add it to the sauce. Cover and cook in the oven at 150 °C for 1–1.5 hours until tender.
  • Serve the pheasant curry with basmati rice and naan. Finish with fresh coriander and sliced red onion.
