A filling & tasty Weight Watcher vegetarian dinner recipe.

I often make a couple of batches of this recipe, divide it up and freeze it.

I can then grab a portion out of the freezer in the morning and warm it through in the evening for an easy, tasty and very filling meal.

Talking about batch cooking - do you ever get in a mess with measurements when trying to double or treble recipe quantities?

I did until I started using this recipe resizer . You just type (or cut & paste!) your recipe into it, click a button and it will resize it by servings or by recipe!

It works for both cup measurements and for grams.

How good is that?

Sometimes I eat the curry with a garlic naan bread for a 5 Smart Point meal.

Sometimes, if I am really hungry and wanting to push the boat out, I eat it with a garlic naan and rice! A really filling, tasty meal for so few points!

How Many SmartPoints in Chickpea Lentil Curry

Weight Watchers changed their program at the end of 2019. It now includes 3 individual plans, giving anyone following the WW program lots of choice about how they use their SmartPoint allocation.

Using the official WW recipe builder I have worked out the SmartPoints for this Chickpea & Lentil Curry for each of the plans.

• Freestyle Plan - 1 SmartPoint per serving
• myWW Blue Plan - 1 SmartPoint per serving
• myWW Purple Plan - 1SmartPoint per serving
• myWW Green Plan - 6 SmartPoints per serving

If you are following the myWW Purple Plan you can serve this low point curry with a small portion of brown rice for no extra SmartPoints!

If you are following any of the other plans and you serve this curry with rice, you will need to work out the SmartPoints for the rice separately

 Chickpea Lentil Curry recipe alternatives!

• Use chopped fresh veg rather than frozen mixed veg
• Serve with a Garlic Naan Bread rather than rice for just 5 Smart Points (on Freestyle, Blue and Green)!
• Use split peas rather than lentils.
