Mince is excellent value, versatile and universally popular. It is used
here in a quick Indian-style curry. –
by Maggie Pannell
TIP:
This quick curry is less than 400 calories per portion - not many takeaways
can claim that! Serve with wholemeal chapati or naan bread to keep it healthy.
Use lean lamb mince if you can, or lean beef mince will work just as well.

spinach, mushrooms, Parmesan and ricotta. –
by Christine
TIP:
No one will miss the meat with this flavourful, warming pie. Use frozen
spinach for ease - it's just as nutritious, but less work - and brush the
filo with olive oil instead of butter for a healthier version.
