Fab Frugal Fruity Curry
For quite a while now I’ve been making at least two meals every night, one for our little lad, and another one for OH and I, and on occasions a separate one for OH as he’s trying to lose a pound or two.Well today I’d had enough. I want to be able to cook a nutritious meal that we can all eat. I had a look at various recipes trying to see if I could find one that I could adapt to fulfil all of our needs.I did come across one that I thought I would try, and it’s actually an Annabel Karmelrecipe, although she called hers chicken curry:
Serves 4 (2 Adults & 2 Children)
Ingredients
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small carrot cut into matchsticks
1 medium apple, peeled and thinly sliced

1 tbsp Korma curry paste (on offer in Co-op at the moment, 2 for 1)
1/2 tbsp mango chutney (again on offer at the Co-op, 2 for 1)
1 tbsp tomato puree
100g frozen peas
150 ml coconut milk
1 chicken stock cube dissolved in 150 ml boiling water

Mammasavers Own Beef Brisket
Mammasavers own Beef Brisket Recipe
Brisket is a cut taken from the breast of the cow, where there is a bit more connective tissue (cartilage) running through it.
Because of this, the meat is cheaper than parts with fewer chewy bits, and takes a slightly different cooking method to get the most out of.
Without any further ado, please find below mammasaver's own Beef Brisket Recipe. All in, this meal cost us under £4, and serves 4 adults:
Ingredients:
One joint of Brisket (ask your butcher/supermarket butcher for a cut)
One bag of Iceland casserole vegetables (£1 - a frugal kitchen staple)
One bag of Tesco Value new potatoes (65p)
One teaspoon of dried thyme
One teaspoon of dried parsley
3 crushed garlic cloves
