I’ve been following the Slimming World diet for a few months now and although it’s not going as well as it was at the start (due to an all inclusive holiday and lots of picnics in the Summer Holidays, I am back on track now and am pleased with my weight loss so far.
I tried on the dress I wore for the MADS last year and found it was two sizes too big and the dress I bought for the MADS award ceremony earlier in the Summer now has tobe pulled in a little with a belt so I’m definitely seeing a difference since I started.
One of my favourite syn free Slimming World snacks is chickpea dahl loaf which is absolutely delicious (although it sounds a little weird) and completely syn free.
Chickpea dahl loaf
1 packet of bachelors beef flavour savoury rice
1 tin of chickpea dahl (I buy mine from Asda or Morrisons)
3 eggs.
- Preheat the oven to 200 c.
- Make up the rice following the instructions on the pack.
- When the rice is done, mix in the three eggs and the tin of chick pea dahl.
- Spoon into a baking dish – large and flattish is best.
- Cook for around twenty minutes or until the loaf is firm.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it 😉
Does anyone know why mine came out dry and crumbly? I followed recipe exactly. Maybe less heat? Time? One more egg? Thanks
I always made a Curry loaf with Chickpeas Dahl but then it disappeared off the shelves. I even tried the Asian shops but no, not even they had them. Asda told me they don’t do them anymore , I will try Morrison’s, fingers crossed,. I have been using Curried Chickpeas.
I make a Mexican version using Batchelors Mild Mexican Rice (1.5 Syns) and Tesco Taco Mixed Beans in Spicy Tomato Sauce (Syn Free). Just as nice as the Curry version.
A member of my SW group makes this & it's scrummy. I have trouble getting chick pea dahl… Is it a problem for anyone else…
Thanks so much for this, it's such a quick and delicious meal!
Asda Chickpea Dhal is no longer syn free. Use Heinz as it is now syn free
Thanks Jan – I’ll look out for that x x
the morrisons rice is free as is the chick pea dahl
I blitz the mixture a little into more of a paste – I finely slice 4 large onions – add it to the mixture – put into small muffin silicone trays and cook for approx 20 minutes – tastes just like onion Bhajee's – lot less syns –
How can I stop mine from sticking to the loaf tin
I use a silicone baking tray from the pound shop Julie – it works really well x
Silicone baking tray sounds great, but if you haven't got round to buying one I just use baking paper to line a tray otherwise it sticks a lot even if you fry light or spray with oil. You end up wasting a lot of mixture stuck in the tin.
Grrrrrrrr Its getting harder to find the Savoury Rice. I hadn't got time to pop to Asda or any of the big supermarkets. Went into local Waitrose and Co-op they only did the microwave stuff !!!!!!!!!

This is one of the flavours. I don't think it can be microwaved tho and needs to be cooked on hob.
Batchelors savoury rice now 1.5 syncs per pack. I've seen that Sainsburys savoury rice ( not basic) all flavours in a packet is still FREE,
Just to inform you that the BATCHELORS rice packs now have a syn value of 1.5 syns upwards. The new “now cooks even faster” as they changed the recipe.
Not much of a syn value but wouldn’t want anyone jeopardising their losses
im not sure if mines is syn free its bilash chipea dahl anyone give me any info about this make ty
Privacy issues
I'm not sure if ive bought the right chickpea dhal, my mrs doubts that its free could anyone email a pic or put up a link to a pic of it to make sure i have the correct one 🙂 thanks
I can’t wait to try this, but I might try a more homemade version as we often make chana dhal anyway and have chickens, perfect!!
have this in oven now but its been in for over 20 minutes & is no where near cooked, what size eggs did you use cos mine is very sloppy still, have i done something wrong
I’d just leave it in there until it’s firm – it can sometimes take a bit longer x x x
Hope you enjoy it 😉
My sister made this and it is delicious!! 🙂 Is it definitely free? I believe she used ASDA chickpea dahl.
I add onions to mine,then eat with salad
I add a touch of chilli powder to mine for the chilli lovers x
I have been told Sainsbury is 8 syns, Tesco has syns but can't remember what syns, Asda and Morrison are free x
not a slimming world member but tried this and loved. ~Will make again and again.
This sounds fab I’m going to def try this . Thanks for sharing
will definately try !!
AFAIK, Sainsbury's one ISNT free so be careful 🙂
99p store do chickpea dahl free on extra easy!!!!
I make mine with curry flav rice and it works just as well too.
Just made it for the first time with Chickpea Dahl bought in Morrisons for £1.09 by Mazadar – syn free on EE. Very enjoyable. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the idea.
i am a slim club member…i have treied this recepie,,,and its great so quick to do too,,,,,,,,chickpea darhl varies in price so watch out, from 77p a tin in morrisons to £1.38 in sainsburys,
Oh thanks – I didn't mean Tescos – amended now
you need to double check the chick pea dahl- not sure if IT IS free from tesco
It seems good and tasty thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much
