Budget Meals

There are always lovely things that you can cook, even when you are on a budget.  So, when the month is dragging on and you need some inspiration for cheap healthy meals, check out your store cupboard and see what you can cook up!  Cheap meals can be delicious! Spice mixes cheer up even the most boring of ingredients.

The cheapest ingredients are things like tinned beans, lentils and fresh or frozen vegetables. Fortunately, these are also incredibly healthy and filling! Even the most modest ingredients can be transformed into a bowl of deliciousness when combined with our aromatic spice blends. 

• Our Daal recipe is easy to make and leaves you feeling very full.  Serve with some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.   This can feed 4 people for around £5.
• These Beetroot Fritters are a great family meal (especially for a meat-free night!) and also freeze well as either batter or cooked fritters. This recipe actually makes around 30 fritters, so a family of 4 can just eat half this amount with a fried egg and some veg, and freeze the rest for another night. An insanely budget meal that is full of comfort as well as being a a very healthy option.
• The Roast Aubergine Curry is a little more expensive but is so tasty and still great value.
• Get those chickpeas in for added protein and to bulk out the meal! Both the Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry and Courgette & Chickpea Curry are packed with goodness, and neither will break the bank.
• We love these Aloo Ki Tikki patties for a bite to start or as a snack. They would also work great as a side! Serve with some green chutney to make a budget meal feel special. 

Another great money saver is to ditch that Friday night takeaway for a fakeaway, so be sure to check out our most popular Fakeaway recipes.
