Pukka Yellow Chicken curry - Jamie Oliver (1)

For Christmas I received the book ‘Saving with Jamie’. As a true Jamie Oliver fan I like all this books, but a book that is all about budget could not have been more appropriate this month! I recently cooked a dish from it and you’re looking at it! I think in general, most of the dishes from the book are not really below 3 euro but it’s a good starting point and a good source of inspiration too.

I think I used quite a bit less meat than I normally would have used for a curry. Meat is expensive and even this chickenthigh filet (from the Turkish supermarket) was quite high and adding more into the curry would have been over budget. The total dish was € 4,84 for 4 portions, so that means € 2,42 for the day. And very tasty!

    One of the great things about curry is it’s so flavorful that a little meat goes a long way. Particularly when you add chickpeas (as you do) or really any pulse or legume. Good recipe — not only looks tasty, but the vibrant good looks of this dish are so appealing!

      Yes you do need The chickpeas for some filling I guess, although the rice does part of that job as well!

      You should Maureen. Maybe not all dishes are as inexpensive as this one but the book is fun regardless of price! 🙂
