When it comes to the flavours of Israel, perhaps nothing feels more like a taste of home than an overflowing shawarma, bursting with salad, hummus, tahina and pickles, and you can recreate this dish in your very own kitchen.

Budget-friendly Chicken Curry and Sides

Budget chicken curry

Kosher meat can be pricey, but butchering your own chicken is one of the most-effective ways of shaving costs. It’s worth starting with a large, good quality chicken, separating the meat into its components, and, with a little creativity, one can feed a family of four for 4 meals. Part of our budget chicken recipe series, this recipe uses one large chicken breast, and is bulked out with frozen vegetables and protein-rich chickpeas to stretch the meat further. The chicken curry is accompanied by pilau rice and saag aloo gobi, so you can have an excellent fake-away that will leave everyone satisfied, without breaking the bank! For a vegetarian alternative, follow these steps but skip the chicken, or add chunks of tofu, mushrooms or aubergine!
