After eating stodgy comfort food I’m craving lighter and healthier meals. Soup is the perfect choice, easy after work meals packed with veg and pulses and still warming during a cold January in London. I cook two types of lentil soup, the smooth Egyptian red lentil soup and this Algerian version using green lentils which is more brothy. Both soups are cut with the acidic lemon and coriander to serve.

This is a dish I cooked up one night when I was craving lentils. It’s quite good when eaten in conjunction with another recipe I’ve posted here, Rice with a Chilean flair. Indian and South American food combined!
Dr Rupy’s creamy coconutty curry is quick and easy to prepare. The perfect midweek meal when you’re cooking on a budget. In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £1.22 per portion when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. This price is based on using chopped tomatoes, if using tinned cherry tomatoes it is £1.29 per portion. The recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
