When I have money I buy a 10kg sack of basmati rice and then I get some big bags of frozen vegetables.

Fry off an onion, some garlic, then the frozen veg. Normally peppers, mushrooms and sometimes sweetcorn but I will add anything I can get cheap really. To make it more exciting I add dried crushed chilli and ground cumin corriander and whatever else I have knocking about.

While you're doing that cook some rice.

When it's all done mix it together. You can throw in some sweet chilli sauce if you want.

You can fuck about with that recipe endlessly. Add tinned tuna, add chicken, add prawns, add anything really to change the flavour.

Add tomatoes and use pasta instead of rice. Add some curry paste and a handful of frozen spinach.

It can get boring to have it every night but you can adapt it to mix it up daily
