If Chips and Curry Sauce is your go-to chip shop order, this one’s for you! Our version of the chippy-inspired classic comes loaded with all the flavours you’re craving, for only 260 calories per portion. 

Much better for your budget than ordering the real deal, our chippy-style recipe uses a simple combination of basic ingredients. By blending together veggies, stock, curry powder and garlic, our homemade sauce comes jam-packed with chippy deliciousness for far fewer calories. 

After we’ve drizzled over the moreish chippy-style sauce, we love to add an indulgent layer of grated cheese. Trust us, it really works! Just be sure to account for the additional calories, if you’re counting.
