Goodlife Spicy Lentil Wedge

Vegan Spicy Lentil & Vegetable Wedge

A spicy lentil and vegetable wedge with mango and puy lentils from Goodlife.   I really like lots of products from Goodlife and this one is another hit for me.   I like that the Goodlife factory only make vegan products and that they are natural and really healthy when you compare them to other ready meals.

This is like a large samosa without the pastry.   The flavour is medium heat Indian style.  The texture kind of reminded me of polenta, but it is made with chickpeas and wheat flour.  The little bits of peas, lentils and vegetables were very nice,  and the little bit of mango flavours worked really well with the overall flavour.  I did enjoy this Wedge and it was quite filling.  It is a fun change to have something a bit different,  it is very easy to cook, in the oven for approx. 24 minutes.  I enjoyed mine with some mixed leaf salad.

Each pack of 2 Wedges are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Vegan & Vegetarian Society Approved. Per wedge is 244kcal.  All natural ingredients.  I bought mine in an independent health food shop.

M&S Indian Starter Selection

Vegan Bhajis, Samosas & Pakoras

A mixed pack of Onion Bhajis, hand wrapped vegetable samosas and vegetable pakoras in a Starter selection pack from Marks & Spencer.   Very easy to cook you just oven them for 12 minutes and serve.  All three items are really good,  the onion bhajis are oniony and have a natural looking shape,  the samosas are light and crispy and the pakora is lovely with the vegetables and batter.  They are all quite mild but full of flavour.  This pack makes a perfect starter or a light meal for 2 or 3 people.  I like them with some side salads.

Each 250gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.  Per Bhaji is 55kcal, per samosa is 55kcal and per pakora is 50kcal.  Sold in the chiller section of M&S.

From the Cooperative vegetable pakoras, vegetable samosas and onion bhajis selection pack.   These are very very good,  the samosas had a nice filling and the pastry was crispy, the pakora was yummy firm and had a good flavour, and the onion bhajis were really tasty too.  I think this pack is a really good choice,  they taste great, perfect for a party food, I had mine with salad.  I will definitely have them again. They take just 12 mins in the oven.

Each 275gram pack has 12 items(4 of each),  Suitable for Vegans, per pakora is 40kcal, per samosa is 55kcal,  per bhaji is 45kcal.   From the fridge section in the Coop.

These would go nice with the pappadums I reviewed earlier.
