Notes

What changes can I make

If you are following meal plan 1, you don't have much room to change things. If you are picking and choosing recipes, there are many ways touring the changes.

Use any combinations of beans you fancy. Maybe use dried ones as they are so much cheaper than tinned ones.
Add a good splodge of curry paste or curry powder. Pataks are particularly good and there are lots of different flavours
Use ghee instead of oil to enrich the flavour
Add some more vegetables, sliced carrots, chunks of sweet potato or pieces of potato for instance
