We really enjoyed this. It was lighter than some of the recent Indian dishes we’ve experimented with and really fragrant.

½ A Tsp of Turmeric
1 Tsp of Chilli Powder
1 Tbsp of pain Yogurt
Oil to fry
Salt to season

Masala Sauce

Ingredients:-

2 Green Chillies, sliced
2 Onions, made into a paste
1 Tsp of Ginger and Garlic Paste
1 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
390ml of Passata
1 Tsp of Chilli Powder
2 Tsp og Coriander Powder
½ A Tsp of Garam Masala
2 Tbsp of Yogurt
Oil to fry
Fresh Coriander leaves to garnish

Method:-

(1) Mix the Fish with the Ginger & Garlic paste,Turmeric, Chilli Powder, Salt and Yogurt.
(2) Place in the fridge to marinade for 30 minutes.
(3) Heat the Oil on a medium heat and fry the Fish on both sides until lightly browned.
(4) Set aside.
(5) Heat Oil in a pan and add the Green Chillies.
(6) Stir in the Onion paste and add the Ginger & Garlic paste.
(7) Stir and fry gently.
(8) Add the Tomato puree, Passata, Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder and Garam Masala.
(9) Cook over a low heat and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
(10) Stir in the Yogurt and then return the Fish to the sauce.
(11) Cook over a low heat until heated through.

We served ours with boiled Rice, home made Onion Bhaji, home fried Popadums and Indian style dips. The Fish was £2 from the yellow sticker fridge. So this was actually a very low cost and extremely tasty dinner.

Tomato & Basil Giant Toad In The Hole recipe, eat well on universal credit

OK making your own Sausages might not be everybody’s cup of tea. But we enjoy it and it’s something which requires two sets of hands and therefore results in a good deal of laughter in the kitchen. This can’t be a bad thing?

Ingredients for the Sausages:-

1.4kg of Minced Pork
Salt to season
2 Tubes of Tomato Puree
A good handful of Dried Basil
Water

Method:-

(1) Mix everything in a big bowl.
(2) Fit the extruder attachment the your mincer.
(3) Extruder into casings and twist into Sausages.
(4) Spend another hour cleaning the kitchen, as you’ll have mince all over the place!

Joking aside. This mince was 20% Fat and because we don’t add any ‘Packers’ to our mix the Sausages had quite a dry / grainy texture. The taste was great, but we used the wrong mince.

So while the mincer is within easy reach and has not been lost in the back of the cupboard, I’ve bought a lump of Shoulder which is a much better / fattier cut for Sausages. This afternoon we’re having a go at Hmong Sausage which are flavoured with Ginger, fresh Coriander, Garlic, Lime etc….
