Dr Rupy’s warming cauliflower soup is the perfect pick-me-up on a cold winter’s lunchtime. In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £1.41 per portion when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. The recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
Dhansak is a traditional Parsi curry of lentils, vegetables and meat. This vegetarian version removes the meat, but is still bursting with flavour.
This is one of my favourite suppers, although there’s nothing that says you can’t serve this as a vegetable side. And you could also bolster it further by crumbling in some feta. But for me, it is perfect just as it is. Each serving provides 483 kcal, 17g protein, 39g carbohydrate (of which 14g sugars), 26g fat (of which 3.5g saturates), 15g fibre and 2.7g salt.
