Plant PRoteinz Indian Style Lentils with Dhal Spices & Juicy Tomatoes

Product Information

It can be a little confusing to learn that Heinz beans are syn free on the slimming world plan but their flavoured versions are not, this is mainly down to the fact that the original Heinz beans are just in a standard tomato sauce and their flavoured versions have a lot more sugar and fats which have to be synned. I could go on but those are definitely my favourite things about the humble lentil! Well, that, and the fact that you can make an EPIC slow cooker vegetarian chili with them too. If you’ve not ventured into the world of lentils before you should absolutely give it a go – I promise you won’t regret it! At 15 syns for the whole can, Heinz Ravioli is a very high syn meal, taking your whole 15 syn daily allowance or half for a 200g portion. Enough about lentils, what about lentil dahl? Well, lentil dahl originated in India and is a dish made predominantly from lentils and yummy yummy spices. It’s high in protein, low in fat and filled to the brim with flavour. Why should you make it?

A tin of Heinz Ravioli has 15 syns per can, making this pasta very high in syns and consuming the whole of your daily syn allowance, we would therefore only suggest having this pasta as the occasional treat on the plan.Now, go forth and experience the greatness that is lentils!! Economical, filling, nourishing – the world’s greatest source of plant based protein, all wrapped up in a coconut curry sauce. YESS!!! – Nagi x I have one of these in my house and I love it.. I almost look forward to filling it out each week. It helps to keep me motivated too. I have mine hanging near the fridge. I know it’s childish of me to complain, but this Lentil Curry took anirritatingly long time to create . For this recipe, we’re going for the latter. We take our time sautéing the onions, ginger and garlic so they transform from raw harshness to a sweet, savoury flavour base. Then we cook off the two spices to make the flavour bloom.

I knew it was a pretty high benchmark. Creating kapow! flavours out of plain lentils without going crazy with a list of spices. Saute onion: Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger. Slowly cook, stirring every now and then, for 10 minutes until tinged with gold and the onion is sweet. Heinz is not the only brand that has low syn easy to make bean meals, we have listed a few other low syn alternatives for some variation below.Add everything else: Add remaining ingredients and stir. Bring to simmer, then place lid on and adjust heat to low / medium low so it's simmering gently. Tadah! Your lentil dahl is ready! See how fast that was? All that remains to do is have a little taste and add any more seasoning should you want to. Then either serve on it’s own or with some cooked basmati rice for a more rounded meal. If you’re feeling fancy, you can top with some freshly chopped coriander and sliced red chilli! Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, to ensure none of the spices catch on the bottom of the pan. The key to cooking amazing food with bare minimum ingredients is good produce and knowing what to do to extract the most flavour out of what you have.

Add the cumin, garam masala, ground coriander, & turmeric. Mix really well and cook for 1 min stirring often.Remember every day needs to count.. when you think about grabbing for those extra Syns or giving in and having a takeaway. Think about it.. do you really want it or need it? I have discovered this fab Heinz Creationz Lentil Curry.. it’s really delicious, perfect over rice and it’s 100% SYN FREE too! Now it’s time for the spices that will bring this dish to life! Add the cumin (1/2 tsp), garam masala (2 tsp), ground coriander (1/2 tsp) and turmeric (2 tsp) to the pan.
