I am looking for suggestions for meals I can do cheaply to feed two adults and two toddlers. I have a very fussy OH and two year old and I am intolerant to tomatoes. OH won't eat pasta or mushrooms, hates spicy food of any kind and my two year old hates anything new. I would like her to try more meat, she eats all fruit and vegetables but will reject meat if its not sausages or chicken nuggets. :o

I do cook things like toad in the hole, pizza and chicken stews but I would like to cook something different.

I would appreciate any ideas

Now once baby comes I obviously have to make sure the house is at suitable temp but until then any suggestions or keeping the bills down?

So far I am:

- trying to occupy my time with books and cleaning so tv not on constantly

I'm planning to batch cook tomorrow and so I've had a clear out of my freezer and found a stray 2kg bag of Tesco chicken fillets. According to the bag they are leg, thigh and drumsticks - http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Produ.../?id=259192841

I've no idea how they got there or how long they've been there :rotfl: but they are in date and so I've taken them out to defrost rather than the chicken I was going to do and use the meat from those to do things to get them out the way.

One thing I've never made is soup, I understand that it can be made by boiling the carcass of the bird? I have some soup mix thing from Approved Food (Sainsburys Country Mix) so I'm assuming that can be used too but what about the bones from this? Can I make a soup from the leg bones or is it best to wait until I do a full chicken?

If it is possible, how do I go about it? (Have a food processor and veg to add too :))

My journals are currently kept in a locked tin which is now full. I have debated scanning them all and throwing out the originals but this would take a lot of time and patience. A friend suggested that if I get a filing cabinet I can store them in there with room for more in the future. I am torn between journalling on paper as I always have done or on the laptop.

Melt for a cheese sauce e.g mac n cheese etc

So.... we buy online - I save up & get a Tescos delivery (most Tescos sell 2kg bags of Dal & Value Basmati rice can be as low as £1/kg)

If anyone is going to a big town or London I'll try to hitch a lift (offering petrol money naturally) or I save up & order from one of the Asian grocery online firms like iTadka.

• Sometimes places like Approved Food have Dal in stock & we bulk buy this or basmati rice
  
• Health food shops (the independent ones) will often sell spices etc at lower prices loose per ounce.
  
• Dal(s) - 'dal' is simply a generic term for a lentil, dried pea or bean. Chana Dal has a terrifically low GI - great for diabetics.
  
• Basmati rice - old or OOD is better as it gets better with age, and a much lower GI than normal long grain rice.
  
• Essential spices to start off with: Turmeric "Haldi" , Cumin Seeds "jeera" , Red Chilli ground or flakes "Lal mirch"
  
• Garam masala isn't necessary for making proper Indian light dal from split lentils, it's better for meat or heavier dishes.
  
• Buy whole seeds of any spices you may need, and grind up to make a powdered version. I make my own garam masala like this.
  
• If you are near any markets, ethnic shops or large supermarkets it's worth visiting after 3 pm - marked down stock etc. Garlic, ginger and green finger chillies will cost much much less at an ethnic greengrocer usually.

Here is a good simple authentic recipe for "Dal"

Jools’s recipe for Tarka Dal - serves 4 - less than £1.00 per portion including rice & raita


For the Dal

• 1 x 500g pack split red lentils (‘Masoor dal’) or Chana dal,or Moong dal
• 2 tsp turmeric (‘haldi’)
• ½ tsp ground/flaked red chilli
• Salt to taste
• 3 tb sp crushed garlic, or garlic paste
• 3 tb sp grated ginger, or ginger paste
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• One thick slice of lemon, de-seeded.
• A handful of chopped coriander stalks (save the leaves for later)

For the Tarka

• 1 tbsp ghee or mustard oil, or a light vegetable oil.
• ½ tsp ground asafoetida (‘Hing’)
• 1 or more green chillies, sliced into fine rings
• 3 cloves garlic, finely sliced & chopped lengthways
• 2 tsp cumin seeds (‘Jeera’)

Check the lentils for stones and wash them in several changes of water

Put the lentils into a large saucepan or stockpot and cover with plenty of water, at least double the dal if not triple. Leave to soak for a couple of hours.

Add all the other dal ingredients, stir, cover and bring to the boil.

Turn the heat down and simmer, covered . Make sure lentils do not burn and add extra water if necessary.!

Cook for around 40 minutes (red masoor lentils) or up to 1 ½ hours for the other types of yellow dal! A big pressure cooker is useful.

At the end of the you should have a deep yellow soup-like mixture.
Remove the lemon slice.
Chop a good handful of the coriander leaves and add to the cooked dal.

Adding the tarka:

Heat the ghee or oil in a small omelette pan or similar.
Add the asafoetida, then the cumin seeds, chilli, garlic. Fry, stirring constantly for until the spices splutter and everything turns a deep golden brown -but make sure they do not burn.
Immediately tip all the tarka into the dal, it will sizzle a little. Use a little of the dal to swirl around the tarka pan to make sure all the tarka flavours go into the dal.
Stir everything well and check the level of salt
Serve with rice, raita, roti


Raita

• Onion
• Cucumber
• Tomato
• A few sprigs of coriander (‘Dhania’)
• Chopped mint or mint sauce
• Low fat plain yogurt
• Raita/chutney masala
• ½ tsp cumin seeds

Finely chop your onion, cucumber, tomato & coriander.

Add to yogurt, add chopped mint or mint sauce (2 tsp per 500g yogurt)

Add raita/chutney masala, if wanted.

In a dry pan, toast the cumin seeds then scatter these over your raita and eat!

Also wanted to add - my hubby works in the Indian restaurant business & obviously we have lots of south Asian connections - so any help I can give with how to cook 'real' Indian type food I'll be happy to do so! ]]> Old Style MoneySaving joolzred http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3961539 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3961203&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 19:52:01 GMT Evening All I am starting Weight Watchers Pro points today but I am not sure what menu choices to make, does anyone have any ideas for dinner/lunch/snacks etc. Evening meals are a problem for me as I have a DH who loves meat every evening, a DD who will eat most things and another DD who is a vegetarian!

I live in West Yorkshire and in a soft water area.

I have been putting salt in my dishwasher and find that cutlery has rust spots on! I run an Eco/short programme each day and a more intensive one at the weekend when we have had a roast. Daily programme does not dry.

Have read that's it's the salt that's causing the rust.

My question is do I need to add the dishwasher salt? Being in a soft water area?

Thing is having a new kitchen and an intergrated dishwasher fitted soon, don't want to wreck the new one! Also want to get rid of rust spots, heated rubbing with Cif or the like should do it, but haven't got any, would bicarbonate and lemon work?

Plus salt is over £1 a bag and seem to go through alot.
