Well, I am here to make it easy for them. My five-ingredient recipes will make weekday meals easy and delicious – healthy and straightforward meals using storecupboard ingredients to make dinnertime a breeze.

The Thai roast chicken is my kids' favourite, and you will know why once you try this simple dish. The coconut prawn curry has quickly become a dish requested by my family and friends.

Chetna Makan's 5-ingredient fixes

Two-ingredient flatbreads with roasted cauliflower

"I love cauliflower in all its forms, but roasting it takes it to another delicious level. I’ve cooked my florets with some curry powder, but you could use other spice blends or pastes like harissa or garam masala."

Peri-peri roasted aubergine with herby yogurt

"I like to serve these five-ingredient roasted aubergine and chickpeas with a refreshing herby yogurt and some toasted pitta, but they’d be just a delicious with some rice, or piled on top of buttered toast."

Thai roast chicken

"Thai red curry paste and yogurt form the perfect marinade for this easy chicken dish. Use cubes of tofu to make it vegetarian, if you like."

One-pot harissa chicken rice

"An easy, delicious meal that’s all cooked in one pot. I like to keep a jar of harissa in my cupboard as a low-lift way to add extra flavour to chicken and rice. If you don’t like harissa, you could use tandoori paste instead."

Mango chutney onion frittata

"This speedy frittata has become my go-to lunch. The sweet mango chutney really compliments the caramelised onions and salty feta. You can, of course, swap the mango chutney for any other chutney that you have lurking in your fridge, or a lovely fresh pesto would work well too."

Coconut prawn curry

"With just five ingredients, this is one of my most popular prawn curry recipes. If you like fish curry, this dish is a must-try. Serve with rice or flatbreads."

Baked fish with lentil salad

"This healthy dinner has minimal ingredients and comes together quickly. You can use whatever salad dressing that you have in the fridge."
