Enough about lentils, what about lentil dahl? Well, lentil dahl originated in India and is a dish made predominantly from lentils and yummy yummy spices. It’s high in protein, low in fat and filled to the brim with flavour. Why should you make it? The key to cooking amazing food with bare minimum ingredients is good produce and knowing what to do to extract the most flavour out of what you have. This lentil recipe is an eye opener – an incredible creamy coconut Lentil Curry made with just TWO spices! It’s a streamlined version of Indian Dal, delivering a similar intoxicating curry flavour but a whole lot less complicated. Make this with any type of dried lentils, canned, or even split peas!

Heinz Ravioli gets its high syn value simply from the pasta and sauce, however, nutrition-wise the pasta is very healthy, and low in fat and sugar, we would watch out for the sodium content which has around 3g for a full can portion. In ready-to-eat beans and pulses “health, flavour and convenience are key” said Elise Lignieres, Heinz Beanz marketing manager. “Not only that – research shows the pulses aisle is a stronger fit for premium innovation, which is why our new convenient pouch solution will appeal to shoppers in the category.” Then we also cook off the curry powder and turmeric which lets the spices bloom before adding the lentils and everything else in to simmer away.Now it’s time for the spices that will bring this dish to life! Add the cumin (1/2 tsp), garam masala (2 tsp), ground coriander (1/2 tsp) and turmeric (2 tsp) to the pan. At 15 syns for the whole can, Heinz Ravioli is a very high syn meal, taking your whole 15 syn daily allowance or half for a 200g portion.

Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, to ensure none of the spices catch on the bottom of the pan. And here’s how to make it. It takes about 50 minutes start to finish, but the active effort is only around 10 minutes – and there’s a nice flow to it because you can gather and measure ingredients while you stir the onions every now and then.Coconut milk– if you use low fat instead of full fat, you are not allowed to complain if your sauce isn’t as good as you hoped!😂

Kraft Heinz has revamped its Heinz Creationz range of beans and pulses, moving it from a can to a pouch and overhauling the variants. Some of Heinz Creations meals have between 1 and 1.5 syns a serving, making them very low in syns, this is because they often contain syn free ingredients such as veg or beans, for example, Heinz Creations Spanish beans have 1 syns for the whole pouch, when you look closely at the ingredients this is because they contain simple spices and beans without too many added ingredients. I know it’s childish of me to complain, but this Lentil Curry took anirritatingly long time to create .Just LOOK at that incredible sauce! So creamy! Loaded with flavour! (There are not enough exclamation marks in this world!!!) The latest Creationz variants comes as the result of “30% of consumers actively looking for new and ethnic flavours when grocery shopping, and with international cuisines in growth in the UK”.

Firstly, heat a large frying/saute pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the coconut oil and melt.

I could go on but those are definitely my favourite things about the humble lentil! Well, that, and the fact that you can make an EPIC slow cooker vegetarian chili with them too. If you’ve not ventured into the world of lentils before you should absolutely give it a go – I promise you won’t regret it! Stir often, especially near the end of the cooking time, to prevent it from catching and burning on the bottom of the pan. For this recipe, we’re going for the latter. We take our time sautéing the onions, ginger and garlic so they transform from raw harshness to a sweet, savoury flavour base. Then we cook off the two spices to make the flavour bloom.
