Have you tried the curry hot pot packs from the supermarket cheating I know but ooohhhhh soooo yummy and sooo easy, I think the brand is actually 'hot pot' they also do a savory hot pot too which is yummy.

its in a green box with I think red and yellow writting and is usually right at the bottom of the shelf under all the gravies and other hot pot mixes etc.

This is very easy and very tasty! I'll give you the full recipe, but I halve it for us.

Sausage & Potato Goulash Serves 8

750g good quality sausages, sliced into rounds 1cm thick
2 Tbs olive oil
30g butter
1 large red onion, finely chopped
1-2 tsp sweet paprika
1kg potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
250g tinned diced tomatoes
1/2 cinnamon quill
1 bay leaf
2 Tbs chopped parsley

Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy-based pan (I use my cast iron) and saute onion for a couple of minutes over med. heat. Stir in paprika, cook for 30 seconds and then add sausages. Continue cooking, stirring fairly often until sausages are golden. Add the potatoes, tomatoes, cinnamon and bay leaf and 500ml water (remeber to adjust this if you are halving recipe) season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.

Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until potatoes are softened and the soup is thick and stewy. Stir from time to time to make sure it doesn't stick to the pot ( I only do this two or three times). Mix parsley through and serve.

I like some really nice bread to mop up all the yummy juices!
