I've had beef stew, brown rice and steamed broccoli.

The cauli curry sauce is based on a recipe from here. I use a whole cauliflower broken into florets, cover (just) with water, add a stock cube and simmer for about 15 minutes till the cauliflower is soft. Then I use a stick blender and blend till smooth, add 1 can tinned toms, pinch of garlic granules and some spices. I normally use a blend of cumin, ginger, turmeric and madras. Blend that all together again and simmer for another 15 mins or so. That's the sauce done, it makes loads so I normally bag up half of it for the freezer.

Then to make the curry, I dry fry some onion, peppers and chicken breasts with chopped garlic and chilli added towards the end of the frying. Pour over the sauce, stir well and simmer for 20 mins. Add chopped fresh coriander before serving. It makes a lovely curry with a thick stodgy sauce.

The saag aloo is based on this recipe, I just halve the amount of potatoes, use frozen spinach cubes (defrosted) and leave out the oil - Tried and tested « Quick Indian Cooking

Tonight is the spiced beef stew from this months mag. Only difference is I prepared it last night and stuck it in the slow cooker on low this morning for a long stew rather than the 2 1/2 hours in the oven that it suggests. Was smelling lovely when I put it all together last night so looking forward to it!

Ooh I can recommend that Scarlett, we have had it a couple of times at the OHs request, I made mine with venison because I had it in the freezer and it's a lovely low fat meat.

Lovely its nice to hear from others who've tried them too! I love trying new recipes and spices but must admit I'm not very adventurous with any meat away from my norm of beef chicken pork lamb. My OH would love to try more out of the ordinary meats though so good to have a recommendation of somewhere to start- thanks! X
