Cheap and easy recipes for Indian food question.?

Hi I live in the UK so I can only use ingredients available in UK stores.

Does anybody have any cheap and easy recipes for some good Indian food. I'm not interested in any artificial glop in a jar, like the curry sources in the stores. I'd like to make things from natural ingredients.

I don't have a huge amount of money to spend and food isn't cheap now days, so my budget will be around 15 to 20 pounds.

Any answers are appreciated.

Thanks

    This is my favorite pot-luck dish. People love it, even the warehouse guys at work don't miss the meat. It looks like a sort of long recipe but it only takes 20 min or so to get it ready for the oven and then 20-30 min in the oven. Pull it from the oven and put it straight into a cooler packed with towels to wrap it in. This will keep it hot for 3-4 hrs. Stuffed Shells 1 Tbls olive oil ½ med onion 1 green pepper, chopped 1 zucchini, chopped 2 cp mushrooms, sliced 1 can diced Italian tomatoes 1 bottle Prego Three Cheese spaghetti sauce 3 cps shredded mozzarella cheese 1 container cottage cheese ½ tsp each parsley, basil, oregano 12-15 large shell pasta (you may want to cook a couple extra) Get a large pan of water on to boil. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over med heat. Add the onion and green pepper and fry 3-4 min or until onions are opaque. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Add the tomatoes, juice and all. Cover and simmer 15 min. Stir in the zucchini and mushrooms. As soon as the water starts boiling add the shell pasta and cover. While they’re cooking, mix the cottage cheese and 1 cp of the mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Add the herbs and stir till blended. When the pasta is done, drain it and run cold water over the pasta to cool it enough to handle. Pick up each shell and fill it with a spoonful of the cheese blend, place it in a baking dish. Pour the meat/vegi sauce over the noodles, make sure each shell is covered in sauce. Sprinkle with the other 2 cps of mozzerella. Bake 15-20 min or until bubbly and heated through.
