A friend of mine who does slimming world recommended this curry, it's one of the slimming world recipes and I have to say i thought it sounded totally gross.
However, due to lack of any cooking enthusiasm yesterday, and having a tin of mushy peas rusting at the back of the cupboard, I tried it.
Bung a tin of chopped tomatoes, a tin of baked beans and a tin of mushy peas in a pan. Heat through and stir in as much or little curry powder as you want. Serve it with rice. I fried a chopped onion, a chopped red pepper and a handful of frozen peas first and added that to the mix.
It's actually rather good, tastes like chip shop curry. We're having the leftovers with a jacket spud for lunch. Before you barf, try it, it might surprise you as much as it surprised me :)

Maybe NoM's wine selection would enhance it too..;)
You forgot to add running shoes to the recipe:-)

I detest pulses, simply cannot eat them. But from what you have said, it is a form of dhal at the end of the day.....a quick and easy version.....but stewed pulses with spices nevertheless.

Sounds like a good recipe for students!

I would not eat that.

I'm a thoughtful eater...if it sounds gross I wouldn't be able to eat it. I'd happily serve it to the kids though :-)
It sounds disgusting
I will probably love it

I found a brilliant curry kit from a man in the market when I was home - it`s the closest I have found to restaurant curry and much better than the supermarket ones - angloindianchef.co.uk I`ve only tried the Patia so far but it was lovely (not very slimming though as it uses oil)

Probably is a good one for students Kate, cheap, easy and tasty.
After this friend told me about it, I googled it and no one had a bad thing to say about it, which is why I thought I'd try it.
Some people blitz it to make it smooth, you can add chicken or any meat or veg to it. Or you can bin it and not feel you've spent a fortune or wasted much time and effort ;)
I've made it before and added chicken to it, was very nice!
