This is so simple to make and very easy to vary according to your families likes and dislikes. Add flaked coconut instead of almonds, vary the seeds, and add whatever dried fruits and berries your family enjoy. Granola makes a healthy breakfast dish with yogurt and fresh fruit or sprinkle it over cooked fruit such as apples, plums or rhubarb for a quick desert.

This is a really quick, tasty and economical mid week curry that all the family will love. Minced lamb cooks quickly, but try to use lean mince to keep the fat content down. Traditionally a mild curry, you can increase the heat if you like. It is quite a ‘dry’ curry without too much sauce so is best served with Naan bread, but you can serve it with boiled or steamed rice. Top with a dollop of yogurt or with mango chutney if liked.
