It’s Toor Dal, actually. From a packet but still very delicious, reasonably easy, vegan, and I haven’t crunched the numbers but extraordinarily cheap. I should have tried cooking more Indian stuff years ago, this is great

Cam you make extra estradal for the rest of us please
I will, it was vvv yummy and i ate most of it in one sitting
😋
Daal is delicious as fuck and one of my favourite gotos.
If you wanna add something to it, then I can heartily recommend finely chopping an apple and throwing it in with the oil, spices and onions in the beginningoh shit that sounds delicious. noted
It also allows you to feel like a fancy Indian because, im told, most of India doesnt have a suitable climate for apples, so they’re kind of expensive over there
I just made more dal using a recipe i just made up on the spot
i had an apple
i did not put it in
i took one bite and thought “damn this would have been so good with an apple in it” 😭
Hahahaha that is very relatable. I always find lemons in the back of the fridge right after I’m done cooking something what would be good with a bit of lemon
Indian food is a cheat code for vegan meals. Get yourself some Garam Masala without salt and it makes a great “put on everything” spice. Each box of prepped spice you find can easily last 4 meals and it costs a few bucks. The only problem is the sodium but that’s where the Garam Masala mix comes in.
Also, I’m going to piss some people off with this claim. Kimchi sucks and it’s just less flavorful Indian pickle with cabbage.

that’s about 90% of the reason I’ve been on an Indian food kick recently, and it’s true! Whatever isn’t vegan typically takes like 2 substitutions to make vegan if it wasn’t already

that’s also true, but i also find them a fun little shortcut into me tasting a recipe before trying to make my own version with my own spice rack. I recently splurged a bit and loaded my own spice rack up with a little bit of everything and it’s incredibly satisfying to make the spice mix from scratch
bold opinion on kimchi though. That’s okay, I’ll still keep eating that garbage (i could have sworn we had the trump taco bowl tweet as an emoji here)
kimchi sucks
someone has clearly only ever had the white-people-approved supermarket variety
I’ve had tons of kimchi and it sucks in relation to Indian pickle. It’s sauerkraut with more spice. Indian pickle blows it out of the waterv
Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, amd Levantine cuisines span a huge base of vegan recipe development.
