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.

Take care of your family and your budget
Before putting together our meal planners we surveyed over 600 people to ask when faced with a tighter budget, which things they would struggle to give up.
