Week 2: Hopefully a bit more exciting week....we seem to have an indian theme going!

So this is the plan that I have drawn up for this week, each night I will post how the meal went with the recipes etc. Fingers crossed this week everyone's better and we can finally get back to normal. It somehow turned into a Indian themed week, although this works and things like ginger and coriander can then be used in several different recipes and so nothing goes to waste :o)

The menu for the week is:

Saturday: Oven fried chilli chicken (fake kfc) with either rice or chips (depending how healthy i'm feeling) and then salad or colslaw or corn on the cob

Sunday: Peppercorn chicken with shredded ginger & rice & poppadoms & Paneer with spinach

Monday: Classic Swedish meatballs & Mash & veg

Tuesday: eating at a friends house

Wednesday: Broccali and cauliflower cheese pasta bake

Thursday: Scrambled eggs with peppers and tomatoes

Friday: Mutton burra (lamb chops) & rice & Indian salad

The shopping list is:

* Chicken breasts ( I use Iceland mini fillets)
*  1kg chicken joints
* 400g lean pork mince
* Lamb chops (I use Iceland economy ones)
* Wheat free bread
* Eggs x 10
* Ginger
* Garlic
* Green chillis x 4
* onions x 4
* Coriander
* Poppadoms (double check but the ones in Asda are wheat free)
* 750g baby spinach leaves

* Iceland frozen packet broccali/cauliflower cheese (its wheat free but very yummy)

* Green pepper
* Cherry tomatoes
* Cucumber
* Butter
* 2 litres full-fat milk
* 200-250ml fresh yoghurt
* Cheddar
* 200g Greek style yoghurt

What I already have in my store cupboards from the shopping list:

* Vegetable oil
* Lemon Juice
* Gluten free plain flour
* Rice
* Chicken stock
* Beef stock (I use Knoss)

* Salt & pepper
* Cumin powder
* Garam Marsala

* Cumin seeds
* Ground cumin
* Ground cloves
* Ground turmeric

* Coriander powder
* black peppercorns
* Paprika
* Cayenne pepper
* White pepper
* Garlic powder
* Onion powder
* Gluten free pasta 

Altogether the week's food shop came to £63 but that is including lunches, fruit etc and my children's incredibly weird addiction to yoghurts.....
Ooh I must admit I am slightly salivating at the thought of it, can't wait to get cooking this week!
