cheap family recipes
feed a family of 4 for less than £200 a month
Ingredients
- 1 dessertspoon garam masala
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 160 g onion
- 150 g sweetcorn frozen
- 150 g peas
- 20 g tomato puree
- 320 g carrots
- 100 g raisins
- 350 g rice
- 1 tsp mustard
- 20 ml veg oil
- 150 g chick peas soaked and cooked as per packet instructions
- 1 tsp chilli
Instructions
- Soak and cook the chick peas. Or use some previously cooked and stored in the freezer, or use a can
- Cook the rice.
- Whilst it is cooking, prepare your vegetables: chop carrots into little dice, cut onions into tiny slivers, as small as your knife will allow.
- Then mix all the other ingredients together in a salad bowl and toss well.
- You will find that the addition of the frozen veggies will cool the rice down a lot. If you want the salad to be super cold, rinse your rice in cold water after cooking it, but before adding all the other ingredients.
