I whipped this up one day for lunch at work,  not much veg in the fridge or the freezer, so I thought I would give this a go and it was good, makes 2 servings.  My right hand gal enjoyed it too.

I think these packaged noodles, chick peas and curry paste are great staples to have around the kitchen.  Yes these noodles have lots of sodium, but it is still eating at home.  You could opt out and cook your own from the bulk store if you prefer.  And use fresh broth.  But this was a quickie and it did the job and was tasty.

Ingredients:

• Onion – 1/4 cup chopped
• Chick Peas – (leftovers) about 1/4 cup – 1/2 cup
• Green Peas – (I had can leftovers) 1/4 cup
• Tumeric – 1/4 tspn
• 1 tbspn Pateks curry paste
• Cauliflower – 1 cup (frozen which I had in freezer from summer)
• 1 tbspn veg oil
• Graham Masala – 1/2 tspn
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1 package of  dry Noodles Ichiban or similar (veg flavour)
• 1 tspn – 2 tspn additional veggie crystals (i.e. oxo)

Brown your onions in the paste, spices and oil.  Add the chick peas, cauliflower, 2 cups water and crystals for flavour.  Simmer so that it thickens up a bit.  You can add potato flour to thicken it slightly.  Adjust broth (water amount) if needed.

I then just added the noodles and cooked it in the veg mix, but i think it might be best to quickly cook the noodles separately (and don’t overcook them).  then mix it all together and voila, cheap, tasty, and using up some staples and left overs around the kitchen.
