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

    Indian food is a cheat code for vegan meals.

    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

    Each box of prepped spice you find can easily last 4 meals and it costs a few bucks.

    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)
