Just dehydrating a packet of these lentils:

Using this method:

Then I'll reseal in the original bag and weigh.
68 grams the final weight.

I think I'd sooner starve quietly in a corner than eat lentil bolognese :evil:

Surprisingly tasty TBF. I'll let you know at the end of the month how the dehydrated experiment goes. :mrgreen:

And please report on how well they re-hydrate.

That Tesco rice is about a quarter of the price of Uncle Ben's. Tomato and Lentils sounds good too, but it's not on their website. Willl have a look for both of them in-store anyway.

Thanks, I'll try and get some.
Here's a really nice curry that has a long life. But not cheap.

Bit of a weird portion size, a bit big for one and a bit small for two. Incredibly tasty though.

Ummmm. Home Bargain used to do, or sometimes still do a similar Punjabi Choley in sachets for 79p. They've cut their range now but worth looking out for Indi Grand brand. Add any little bit of cooked meat and you have a feast. Can't knock these sachet meals as a base.
