Budget Meals Under €2 / $2: Vegan Curries (Pick Up Limes)

Three vegan curries pitched at under $2 a serving: a Thai green curry noodle soup, a golden curry soup and aloo matar, the potato and pea curry that is about as cheap as dinner gets. Sadia Badiei, who has a background in clinical dietetics, keeps the pace calm and clear rather than frantic, which makes it a good one to cook along with. The extra value is the follow-up. The description links recipes for using up the rest of an opened can of coconut milk, the classic way a budget curry quietly wastes money, plus a homemade green curry paste so you are not buying a jar for one dinner.
