PS - The pakora sauce was blended. Any excuse to use my mini blender! But you could just swirl it with a fork.

Yep, more cookery this week. As well as the pie, she brought home trifle last week, which I resisted. *loves trifle* She only took cookery as a skive, but turns out she is really enjoying it. Week before last, she made speedy soup

Oh blimey, trifle, that would have tipped me over the edge how blooming gorgeous is that. Seriously though, you should complain - I thought schools were supposed to promote healthy eating.
My daughter does cookery but she's 5 so they only come home with say - 1 biscuit and it's not necessarily the one she made as it's a group class. The thought of all the kids sticking their hands in and rolling out the dough is generally enough to put me off testing it tbh (but sadly not always).

Good point! The speedy soup was healthy plus she made assorted breads which were very good. Don't know what she will do if they start making meaty stuff.

My top moneyspinning tip for making beany stews is to use Crosse and Blackwell baked beans. They are horrible, but taste fine when cooked in a herby sauce and are only 25p a can.

Oh good, you're here. Was worried there may have been another 'cookery class incident' and you were lurking. Far from it in fact - your menus look FAB!
I've never been in an Aldi before - it sounds as though you got some bargains. Hope your lad gets better soon, it's awful when they're ill x

Aldi is great - 31p for a tin of chopped tomatoes!
I have my son's lurgy today. Was inevitable I guess
My food this week has been generally good, but last night my neighbour had a ladies night party thing. I ate loads of healthy snacks, but not SW friendly ones. Nuts, cheese, dried fruit and... erm...fermented grape juice
Tonight I just ate a doggy bag from the party for dinner. Waste not want not. Plus too wabbit to cook. Weigh in tomorrow. Not expecting much.

Ooh they look scrummy, must try that sauce!
What was the SW recipe? Quite fancy trying it but wondering if I could stick some egg or something it to de-crumblify it?

This week's result:
Feeling rough today. Think I will make big pots of soup and cajun stew so I don't have to cook this week.
Hi Ermintrude. I will get the recipe. BRB>>>>>

Spicy vegetable pakoras - Recipes - Slimming World
Serves: 4
Syns per serving: free on green and EE
ingredients
2 large white potatoes, cooked and mashed to a firm consistency with no butter or milk
1 red onion, diced
½ large bag of frozen chopped vegetable mix (sweetcorn, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower)
2 tbsp curry powder (use mild, medium or hot to suit your own taste)
3-4 tbsp fat free yogurt
1 egg, beaten
Fry Light
method
1. Pre heat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Place the mashed potato, diced onion and defrosted vegetables into a bowl and combine thoroughly.
2. Stir the curry powder into the yogurt and add this to the vegetable mix and stir thoroughly.
3. Beat the egg and add it to the mixture, stirring constantly. The mix should still be quite firm, but if its too runny add more vegetables.
4. Line a baking tray/wire rack with baking paper to prevent to pakoras from sticking, and spoon the mixture onto the tray in tablespoon sized 'dollops'.
5. Spray with Fry Light and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes - or until firm on the outside and golden brown. 7. Allow to cool slightly so that the pakoras firm up.
Tip: Tip: I prefer to eat these once they have cooled, with a raita made from fat free yogurt, mint sauce and chopped coriander. They make a great Friday-night TV treat and are packed with Superfree foods!
Add chunks of pre-cooked chicken tikka and make them a delicious Syn free meal on Extra Easy.
