Enjoy an evening of your favourite takeaways without the guilt. Check out these delicious fakeaway meals using healthy, nutritious, ingredients available at your local Joyce’s Supermarket.

Bursting with flavours and spices, this recipe is a healthy and quick alternative to the much-loved spice bag, and it could not be any simpler to make.
