I have been trying to eat a bit healthier.

Can I have some advice please?

I dont really know where to start.
I do buy american easycook brown rice, which is probably a good idea?

But as to pulses and beans.
I bought chickpeas and lentils, but found they had to be soaked overnight. I have no wish to do that.
So then I bought chickpeas in a tin, and green lentils[havent used them yet].
Am I going the right way?
The chickpeas tasted like mushy peas but not quite.
Also, are they used in something, rather than as something on your plate?

We've just polished off a large pan of vegetable and chick pea curry with basmati rice and nann bread. I used coconut milk and canned chopped tomatoes as the sauce. Very nice.

I think Ocado do them, campodol, but really why not soak and cook your own? It's very easy.
