Lovely vegan curry. Could switch to meat if you want. Costs me roughly €2,50 per portion for a very tasty and healthy meal.
Yeah, I've cooked Chana Aloo recently, but I'm looking for things that aren't just pulses and rice or beans and rice!
You can go wild with pasta sauce, ingredients and herbs wise. White sauce or red sauce for example. There's loads of different kinds of pasta too. Or just go for the simple pasta pesto garlic spinach.
Also one of my favorite things to make during winter is pea soup, from split peas. It's a traditional Dutch recipe, called erwtensoep or snert. Here's a recipe. But I make it vegan. Also really cheap and fills you up like crazy.
+1 for curry! My favorite paste is Cock Brand Curry paste for 3€ per 200g, which is 4 portions. Absolutely worth it though, as it's really the only seasoning you need and it turns out perfect every time. I usually throw in frozen Cauliflower and smoked Tofu.
If I'm feeling fancy, I also start the curry by searing a roughly chopped onion in a big scoop of vegan butter and mixing in a bit of flour, then slowly stirring in the coconut milk similar to how you make bechamel sauce. The flour thickens the curry up, which really improves the texture and shortens the cooking time, as you don't have to wait for water to evaporate and thicken it up naturally.
I bought these 1kg buckets for €6 each at the local Asian supermarket.
I like baking the tofu with soy sauce and ketjap to a crispy state (takes a while) but it's that extra bite in all the softness of the marinated vegitables.
Some cashews are also nice to add but they are expensive AF.
What is ketjap if I may ask?
I had to look it up. I thought it was a common product, but apparently it's Indonesian, so that's why it's common in the Netherlands (our dark colonial history) but not internationally.
It's an Indonesian soy sauce. I found a wiki page with 14 languages, including Dutch, but not English xD

Interesting. I dont think I have ever seen it. Maybe in an asian market if I look for it.
And be hungry in an hour
Why? It's a well balanced meal
