Quick, simple, curried (curry) sausages recipe- Basic Budget meal - yummy food for cheap including coconut cream

Makes about 20 curried sausage meals, in about 20 minutes for the time poor household or financially focused or budget poor. This is quite a favoured meal in our household.

Ingredients:

3 cans of coconut lite cream/milk
2 cans of lentils drained (if you use dry lentils you will need to remember to soak them for at least a day before use)
1.8kgs of Sausages (you can always substitute for a meat more to your liking sausages are very cheap for a lot of bulk)
2 packets of curry mix (lamb curry, sausages curry)
1 dessert spoon of minced garlic
Rice (Brown rice is healthier, more fiberous - allow for extra cooking time though)

You can add:
Carrot (freezes quite well for about 5 weeks.)
peas (best not to use frozen peas as we have found re-freezing to be a problem and taste is lost)
Corn (can use tinned corn,or fresh)
Chick peas (tinned)
Potato (doesn’t tend to freeze well, and some people don’t like the texture after if has been frozen.) I think curries always taste fuller with potato.


Multi tasking is the key to getting this cooked quickly so read ahead first - I myself am likely to leave this recipe on the computer screen and run around the kitchen like a headless chicken.
