Veggie curry rules. You can get premade sauces from Kroger’s or Aldi’s for less than 2 bucks where I live. I usually peel and cook down an entire eggplant into the sauce ( just saute it and reduce with beer, stock- whatever and mash it in the pot). Then I parboiled potatoes, frozen peas and carrots, chickpeas and bell peppers. Serve with naan or jasmin/basmati rice (worth a 20$ 10lb bag). I make this at least once a month and we have food for 3 for 3 nights. PS omnivore here cutting back don’t even miss the meat.

It’s also pretty easy to make from shelf stable ingredients, my plan for food shortages is basically just eating a lot of Chana Masala

Look at these radical socialists trying to get me to cook at home. Sorry commies gonna order pizza 3 times a day like a patriot.

this looks good, but be careful to avoid 4channa masala. it’ll make you sick. 8channa masala? lethally poisonous.
