⭐️ SAMOSAS -MAKES 6 small
1/2 cup flour
dash salt (was not enough, next time I would use 1/2 tsp)
1 1/2 tbs oil
1 1/2 tbs water
First mix together flour and salt, then add oil and blend with your fingers until it's all clumpy like in video. Then add water, being careful not to over handle the dough. Then let rest for 30 minutes. I covered mine with a wet towel. Then roll out and form into shape.
Fill with mixture and fry until crispy.
NAAN BREAD
Exactly the same as above except add 1/4 tsp baking powder.
When rolling out, keep it thick and then fry in a hot well seasoned cast iron skillet. I also brushed some additional oil onto the pan.
Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Agreed, I know some people who the welfare office are really being difficult with people on snap and really finding any reason to stop the help the people are getting. So food banks are their options left with their generic and almost to expiration date things. Hard bread, etc.

I love your meat free videos because I’m vegan and especially when it’s an extreme budget because so many people say they can’t go vegan because it’s too expensive😒and I think lentils and beans are one of the cheapest things you can buy, especially if you buy them dried. I also liked that for breakfast you ate cucumbers with hummus with the strawberries because it’s not a “typical” breakfast meal but it was healthy. I love that you are always thinking of the nutrition factor😋 Thx for another great video

Hello! Those samosas look great. Those are on my "must make" list. I was wondering if you ever made wilted lettuce salad. I don't know if that is regional fare or if it is just not popular anymore. I know it to be spinach and dandelion greens on a plate, and then a boiling hot dressing is poured on top. Croutons and strawberries are then added. I remember eating that as a kid. We used cider vinegar that complimented the strawberries. So glad you could make this video. Have a lovely week.

Awesome as always! I see a lot of frugal eating content with deep-fried foods. Cooking oil is so darn expensive these days that I can't justify using that much oil (only to discard it after) in any of my menu plans. I'm curious about why most food content creators don't remark on the high price of frying oil and almost never account for it in a menu plan. I realize that it is a pantry staple but goodness.....the price of it!!! Thanks for the ideas!
@ArdentMichelle
@ArdentMichelle 3 месяца назад
Hello 😁 Regarding the cost of oil - that's why I mentioned that you can use the air fryer or bake them instead. The one I did in the air fryer wasn't as light and airy as the one in the air fryer, but it was still good. I have to ask, why would you discard the oil afterwards? I put it in a jar next to my stove for future use. I can't afford to be throwing out oil. 😂 As for why content creators don't count for the cost of oil or flour or any other staple for that matter, is because those are considered pantry staples so the majority of our viewers already have those. If someone doesn't have it, they can simply add it to the budget or omit using it. I purposely incorporate flour into these extreme budget menus to show how valuable it is in extreme budget cooking. Glad you like my videos!

Bravo! I am always impressed. Healthy, varied, and super budget friendly. No need to spend more than necessary to make interesting, non complicated meals. I love love love lentils. One bag makes up a lot, and the possibilities are endless. Really an excellent option for those looking to stretch their budget, stretch their meals (either to add bilk/volume, or to reduce ground beef use for those that include it). I'm going to make probably all of this. I usually have everything you showed. You did things I wouldnt have considered. I never put strawberries on sandwiches, but it makes sense for texture and taste balance. I've used thin sliced apples with major success, so now I have to try strawberries. I'm super keen on the lentil hummus. I liked seeing what you had left over. Lentil patties for sure for me. Just add seasonings and enough flour to hold it together. No need for any other binder. Bake or fry. I dont even always make a "burger". Sometimes I just heat one up and eat it from hand. Or plate it with some spinach, etc. Everything looked really good. Again, bravo!

Good morning Michelle, I got ideas from this video, l love when that happens. I have been using strawberries a lot recently in salads and desserts along with blueberries. They are cheaper in the stores so I buy often. Yeah, I like to make pita and tortilla chips but only enough to eat in one sitting because they lose their crispness fast after that. Not that this has anything to do with todays video but I make a lot of pizzas and calzone type things so I made a major purchase this week. I bought an outdoor table top pizza oven, it was on sale at Costco, today I am making pizza. I made calzones recently and have filling left for one pizza and left over chicken for another. I'm pretty excited about it. I will be making a lot of budget meals to pay for that. Anyway that's for sharing today. Have a super week and look forward to next Sunday. A fan forever Charlotte

I was planning to make a mini portion with 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 tsp sugar (or more to your taste), 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp oil. Then I was going to top it with the strawberry sauce and some fresh strawberries. I adapted this from a recipe from BIG MANS WORLD blog that has stellar reviews.

Your prices always beat mine except this week eggs at Walmart are 1dz for $1.53. I’m glad your eggs were overpriced, it pushed you to other recipes. Many are great for summer.

I am surprised at all the things you created with that teenie tiny budget/ amount I of food, but I shouldn’t really because you do this for yourself daily! I just I could look at the food you chose and actually SEE what you are imagining for a 3 day meal plan! The closest I get is writing down your list of groceries, and hoping I can sort of copycat the recipes. There is not one thing you have created that I would not eat. Thanks for helping me save money by simple, healthy, tasty & clean meals ! Going to ALDIs on Sunday is a regular thing for me so thank you for being here, I really appreciate you.

I think YOU can do this too! It just takes some practice. The longer you think about your ingredients, the more things pop in your mind that you can use with them. I'm glad you were following me when I was vocalizing the planning. I'm glad my videos are helpful. It's so nice to be appreciated 💜

great way to reuse left over pickle juice: to pickle cucumbers...also, I think I would take the leftover lentils and make lentil patties and then eat them on the naan like a hamburger with raw spinach leaves for lettuce and cucumber slices (could also use some avocado sauce)...dts/usa

You have given me some inspiration. Groceries in Ontario are quite a bit more expensive, but I can still do this for about $10 if I price match or go to a dollar store. Enjoyed watching this very much. You make it seem so easy to do prep work even on a tight schedule .

I’m in Manitoba. Grocery prices are out of control in Canada. Does the store you go to price match only the flyers or can you pull the store up on an app and have a price matched based on the cost in the store? I’ve only seen cashiers be able to price match off the flyers. 🇨🇦

I love that you don't restrict your use of basic pantry staples like flour, seasonings, oil, etc. I highly doubt many of us watching your videos don't make sure to stock up on at least those basic items in times when we have a little extra cash.

The spice mix for your samosas looks incredible. I have have fennel seeds hidden somewhere in my cabinet. Did try to make garam marsala once because i didnt want to spend 8 dollars😅 but i think i should have just purchased the bottle. Thanks for all your tips & tricks.

yeah I wouldn't spend that for a spice. Can you drop by an ethnic market for the garam masala? So much cheaper there. I've found that I do really love that spice.
