Having said all that these kebabs from Acidhell. Not cheap, but much of the shopping list is already in our cupboards. I'll give it a try maybe next week and see how they turn out! Thanks!
As you say they are fairly expensive if you haven't got any ingredients. But anyone who cooks should get themself a strorecupboard of food sorted out. It makes cooking easier, cheaper and when you are unsare or can't be bothered to go down the shop. You can always throw something together.
every person who cooks should have a cupboard with at least most of the following in
spices. Get a huge range, will cost a bit to get initially though
(cinamon sticks, cardamom ponds, coriander seeds, sesamy seeds, star anise, five spice, paprika, chilli powder, chilli flakes, turmaric, cumin, saffron, pepper corns, garam masala, cumin so on and so forth.
herbs, get some pots and plant up common herbs on a windows sill or out side.
Thyme, mint, dill, coriander etc
