Dining with fancy cheese for <£1

So for dinner tonight I made a combination of cheesy sprouts and a large onion bhaji.  Natasha (who posts and comments here as "still hungry") is not a fan of brussel sprouts (whereas I like them), but she does think they're nice mashed up with some cheese.  The only cheese we have in the house is fancy Waitrose Davidstow cheddar, so I had to use that.  For the onion bhaji too, I used some natural yoghurt in the batter.  That was also fancy stuff – organic Yeo Valley yoghurt, as it was the only full-fat stuff for the baby (and indeed me) that the nearest supermarket had.  Most natural yoghurt on sale is unfortunately "zero-fat".  Still, we came in under budget for the day.  Partly that's because I forgot to pick up any food to take in for lunch,  but I had quite a big breakfast and quite a big dinner.  Oh, and also because Natasha got free lunch at work.

 Here is the dinner recipe:

Onion bhaji with cheesy sprouts (served 2)

248g brussel sprouts, trimmed and chopped into quarters (32p)

57g cheddar cheese (45p)

63g chick pea flour (6p)

20g rice flour (2p)

one 179g onion (15p)

4.5g organic yoghurt (14p)

sprinkle of chilli powder (1p)

sunflower oil (costed into yesterday's meal, re-used)

boil sprouts until cooked, mash them up with grated cheese

 mix rice flour, chickpea flour, and yoghurt, then add water until it is a thick batter.  Chop onion coarsely, then mix with batter.  Spread onion batter out over the pan and fry over a medium heat, turning to cook through and crisp both sides.  

Here's a piccy (that's probably about 2/5 of the total, since I usually split it about 2:3 between me and Natasha)
