    Today I made this, which I'd seen recommended, and it's really good, though the portions were on the generous side (better than stingy). There is therefore a tiny bit more room in the freezer where the chicken and blueberries used to be. The second portion of the banana and chocolate 'ice cream' is also eaten.

    @LotsOfTea, would you mind sharing the recipe for the chickpea and pineapple curry please? I'd love to try it.

    Of course @Cherryfudge. It's slightly adapted from this recipe 

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/bean_and_pineapple_curry_83770

    The changes I make are using chickpeas instead of kidney beans (because DS doesn't like kidney beans), using fresh garlic and ginger rather than a paste (about 4 cloves and a thumb-sized piece of ginger  finely chopped usually) and something that the same recipe in her book suggests which is to whizz up half of the pineapple and tomatoes before adding them. It makes the sauce thicker and better tasting I think. Oh, I also added a few lumps of spinach too. I always mess with recipes!
