Friday Night Takeaway
Friday Night Takeaway
Friday night takeaway. It’s the end of the week, you’re tired. Has it been a long week? Really fancy a takeaway. But you are not sure that you can really afford it this week? Panic not! I’m here to save the day. I thought that I would compile a list of the popular recipes on the food page, that have come about because the kids wanted a certain type of takeaway.
Each one is simple to make, tastes delicious and can be made a lot cheaper than the takeaway version. Click on the links below on whatever type of cuisine takes your fancy
Sushi
A number one favourite in our house. Fresh salmon, rice and lashings of wasabi! The only problem is it costs a fortune! Don’t panic, I’m here to help. The next time you see some prawns or salmon in the supermarket yellow sticker section, grab them and stick them in the freezer ready for your next Sushi night.
It may appear tricky or difficult to make, but it really isn’t and with just a little practice, you will become an expert in the field of sushi rolling. Check out the following recipe and save yourself some money the next time the family fancy a fishy Friday sushi takeaway.

Kebab
We have all been there. Craving a large, dirty kebab with all the salad and some chilli sauce (that may be only me). Well, check out this recipe for a Greek-style shish kebab. Not only is it easy to make, but it is also a lot cheaper than a takeaway and healthy too! So go grab your salad and sauce of choice, kick back and let the oven do all the hard work!

Chinese Night
Not one, but two great recipes for you here! The country’s favourite, Sweet & Sour and some delicious spring rolls. The great thing about both of these recipes is you can mix up the ingredients and use whatever you have loitering in the fridge or find in the yellow sticker sections.


Chips
Do you want to up your chip game? Really impress the kids with some fancy chips? Well, look no further! Triple Cooked Chips. The type you find up and down the country in many pubs and restaurants. They are a little bit of a faff but trust me, it’s worth the effort. Grab some ketchup or mayo and sit back and relax.

Indian
There are lots of different Indian recipes on the blog. However, this Jalfrazi is the one most people ask me for. It is really easy to make and tastes amazing. You can adjust the spiciness to suit all members of the family. If you want to jazz it up a little check out my recipe for naan bread too. You don’t have to use prawns as I have. in this recipe, it works just as well with meat or poultry. Give it a go and let me know what you think.

Pizza
Homemade pizzas are amazing! Really cheap and easy to make. Plus the kids get to be involved in the process. Yeah, you may end up with flour everywhere, but it is worth it in the end. Lots cheaper than a takeaway, plus miles healthier too. What are your favourite toppings? and are you a thin or thick base type of person?

Duck Pancakes
OK! In this case not duck, but a cheaper alternative. Instead of duck, why not try it with chicken instead. The kids love this recipe and love getting stuck in with the pancake rolling and making a mess. Another really simple recipe to make and a great alternative to the expensive traditional version. Just don’t forget the plum sauce!
