My husband is a veggie and his favourite is Chick Pea Curry!. But we cheat and use the curry kits because these have all the spices you need to get a truly professional result!. Apart from the kit you need the chick peas, onion, garlic, tomatoes, ginger (if you want) and that's it!. You get a step by step recipe card in the box!.
They cost ￡1!.99 from the source below and serve 4 - so he just uses a quarter of the spice kit each time - so at 50p a meal that's wonderful!.
I'm not a veggie and actually really hate chick peas so I go for the chicken ones and do the same!. They also do Bombay Potatoes (yum) Aloo Gobi, Tarka Daal and Pilau Rice!.

This is just for a quick lunch; it uses canned chickpeas with no cooking involved!.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas and then mash them with a potato masher!. Mince or finely dice some celery and red onion and add to the mashed chickpeas!. Sprinkle in some black pepper and/or celery seed!. Add mayo and stir it all together!. Eat it in a sandwich!.
It's basically a substitute for a tuna salad sandwich, so the details are endlessly variable!. Add some pickle relish, or chopped red pepper, or any other seasonings/veggies that appeal to you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
