chicken tandoori burgers
you can either make your own chicken patties or just use chicken breast and marinate i have done both and both are delicious if you want to make your own chicken patties mince thigh fillets with the paste about 500g and only need couple of table spoons of paste and you can make you own paste or buy it your choice :) than add half cup of breadcrumbs with fresh coriander and just shape and cook other wise here is recipe for marinade


foccia bread made in tm of course

100g tandoori paste
2 tbsp greek style yoghurt
1 tb lemon juice
1 lebanese cucumber
80 g baby spinach
3 tomatoes
mint leaves
mango chutney

minted yoghurt
180g greek style yoghurt
2tbs mint

wizz in the tm tandoori paste, yoghurt, lemon juice than pour over chicken breast and marinate and leave sit for at least 10 min longer is best so it can absorb the flavour.

cook chicken on grill meanwhile wizz in the tm the mint sauce

layer the burgers with rest of ingredients and use vegetable peeler to slice the cucumber lengthways into thin ribbons spread with mint sauce and serve with mango chutney

ITS DELICIOUS!!!

I had no wonton wrappers but made some bread dough and put your yummy pork filling onto dough and steam it in Varoma - pork buns! Mmmmmm  ;)

I nearly always menu plan.  I find it invaluable for shopping and the children love to know what's coming in advance.  Having a menu plan saves all that post school run, what shall we have for tea stuff!

I'm happy to post the plans here - usually its just dinners but occasionally breakfasts too.

Me too!  My friends think I'm weird, planning a menu for the week - but I feel really lost without it, especially on busy weeks!!!

Things run so much more smoothly when I do a menu plan! I have just started again after a big period of procrastinating and I am loving it. It also means I am being more adventurous with different meal choices too!
