Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

This dish is mild but if you want some heat you can add some dried chilli powder, to taste with the other spices in the first step.

A filling and tasty supper

I added some cauliflower and mushrooms that needed using up.

Made for lunch and had with a jacket potato!

Slightly dry so more than 1 tin of chopped tomatoes or some stock needed!

Super easy and super tasty

I cooked this to go along side the garlic and ginger curry for a dinner party ! Big success 👍

Great store cupboard meal

Keep a couple of tins of chickpeas and some tinned tomatoes in, and this makes a great alternative to takeaway for those nights when things go wrong! Cooks so quickly on the hob.

In our slow cooker it dried out rather a lot even though it was on ‘low’ we had to add water to it, but otherwise delicious
