Cous Cous Curry Muffins

½ a syn for the whole batch – which is 12 muffins!  

These cous cous curry muffins are perfect as a side dish on curry night, as a quick lunch or even a snack.  They freeze really well and I’ve been known to microwave from frozen for a last minute supper.

I’ve been struggling to get syn free dahl at Morrisons for a while now, apparently Aldi sell it but I’ve never seen it and Sainsbury’s have it in tins but that’s 5 syns a tin (still not terrible for 12 muffins).  The best I’ve found at the moment is the Good and Balanced range in Asda, the curried chickpeas are in a pouch with the kidney beans and things…they’re ½ a syn per pouch and I used one to make these muffins.

Ingredients:

1 tin syn free chickpea dahl (or 1 pouch from Asda at ½ a syn)
1 packet spicy cous cous
3 eggs
Curry powder

Method:

Pre heat the oven to gas mark 6 or 180 degrees

Add water to the cous cous per the directions, add a tablespoon of curry powder and mix.  Leave to absorb with the occasional ‘fluffing’ with your fork.  

Add the chickpea dahl

Mix in the eggs and if you like them spicy another spoonful of curry powder

Divide mixture into muffin cases – I use silicone as they stick to paper and cook for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown-ish and slightly firm to touch – don’t overcook them or they turn into hockey pucks!  

Leave to cool slightly and pop out of the cases.

Serve immediately with salad or a curry!
