Recipe-Curried Chickpea and Lentil Stew
Book- Budget Busters.
I needed curry powder, made that first, used the Madras recipe from the F&E Indian Cookbook page 25.
Didn't have fresh spinach but used frozen Swiss Chard that I had in the freezer.I stirred that in(defrosted)at the end of the cooking time.Didn't add the (optional) cayenne pepper.
The TM is pretty well cooking to capacity and didn't think it would all cook in the 16 minutes but it did.
DS and I loved the spicy stew.Might reduce the TM stock as it was a little salty.Would love to try a little tomato next time to slightly sweeten it.This a great budget recipe.

Sounds good CC. What do you think of the Budget Busters book as a whole?

I think it's a great little booklet Katya.My daughter gave it to me as a present when she came back form Oz.

CC, do you eat this as is, or with something else?

We just ate it with bread Chookie.We both really like it and it was so simple to make.I really love recipes that you can put together at a moments notice, if you have forgotten to take something out of the freezer :-))

This would be a good caravan meal. I will give it a test first.

Made this tonight for vego teenager, but we all had a taste. Used curry powder made from the recipe in the vegetarian book. Also served with a half quantity of chappatis from the vegetarian cookbook too. Put the spinach (had about 100g, rather than a handful) into the thermoserver and put the curry on top to wilt it. We liked the texture, the chickpeas made it a bit more substantial than a regular lentil dahl. Like the comment above, it is great that it only takes 16 minutes to cook. Easily rolled and cooked 7 chappatis while the curry churned away in Clancy (Tmx). Fast healthy and yum.

Would anyone be able to post the recipe? Or a similar one? Sounds right up my ally :-*

I will type it up and post box or whatever you call it tomorrow. Cheers

Thankyou! I do a lentil hotpot once a week and am always up fo ra few variations. This week I was going to sprout some wheat berries and mumg beans to go in it but I like the sound of this recipe!

Lellyj, once you have typed up the recipe, could you PM me a copy as well, please (this is, if you are not going to post it on here).
Many thanks.
-
Sorry guys, took me al little while to find the time but have inboxed you with the recipe now.
-
Thanks for that. It looks great and now is the time to make it with the weather wet and cooling down.

Hi Lellyj, could you please pm me the recipe? Thanks

I made this yesterday & it really is fantastic - super cheap & really tasty. I followed the recipe exactly & it was perfect & made exactly 6 portions like it said it would. I'll definitely make this again & again. Much better than a boring sandwich for a quick & healthy lunch. I just served mine with crusty bread but I'm sure it would be lovely over rice, like a dhal.

I made this during the week and was very happy with it. I used a fair bit of chilli and cayenne pepper, so was obviously hot, but stirred through greek yogurt for the kids at the end and everyone was happy. Will definitely make this again for a quick economically weekday meal.
-
Sounds good CC .
-
I've just made this and it's delish. I did way cut down on the curry powder and didn't add the cayenne as I don't like very hot foods and its for my toddler and baby too. Can't wait for tea!!!

Oh and I've run out of stock so none in it.
