A Lunch Idea

Unlreated to my previous post.

So I'd agreed to make lunch at the social group today. The idea I had in mind was a Thai style curry. The simplest recipe I could find ended up having to have some modifications, though, namely replacing the prawns with chicken because not everyone likes prawns, and also not having onions because one of the people can't eat them for some reason (some kind of allergy?). I also wanted it to have more veg in general, so I went for courgettes and peppers (actually those are technically fruit).

The person who runs the group wanted to have it with noodles instead of rice. I thought that was a good idea because as much as I like rice, I find it so difficult to cook without it sticking to the pan that I mainly just go for microwave rice, and it would be a hassle to microwave several packets of those for the number of people there. He also suggested adding beans to it, which I wasn't sure about because I didn't think they would go (I have been trying to include more beans in my diet, though, I hear they're a good source of protein and fibre at once), and then I suggested using chickpeas because my Dad has put chickpeas in curry sauces before, and they seemed as if they'd make a good substitute for potatoes.

Anyway, it turned out quite well and most people liked it. I think I could make it a regular meal I occasionally make at home, with some adjustments (like having onions and prawns in it).
