Curried egg rosti. Peel one potato per person , grate it (takes seconds in the food proceesor) rinse well and mix with a good teaspoon of curry powder. Heat a frying pan with a tbsp of oil then spread out the grated potato until it forms a shallow cake and fry gently for about 5 minutes or so depending on how deep the layer of potatoes is - it should be starting to look cooked but not yet done. Then you need to flip the whole thing - easiest if you have another frying pan. The top layer should look nice and golden. Fry gently on the other side for about 5 minutes then make some hollows and break an egg into each one. Carry on cooking until eggs are done and the potato is cooked. If you are in a hurry stick the whole pan under the grill for a minute to set the eggs.
Absolutely delish and as cheap as it getsIt doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!0 -

Take-away
Fish and chips
Or if I want something relatively healthy I'll have a jacket potato with tuna covered in beans! I'm lactose intolerant otherwise I'd cover it in cheese

Mine is pasta with sundried tomatoes and pesto. The pasta takes 10 mins to cook, and all you need to do is stir in a spoonful of pesto and throw in some of the tomatoes. Really simple.
Bowl of cereal often features if I don't have much food in the house.
Interesting the amount of people who said takeaway! I can't be bothered ordering anything over the phone for delivery or going to get it, I'd rather just stick on some pasta.0
