make rice. easy to make. get a bag of jasmine rice. take a cup of rice, put it in a large bowl. and clean it, by that i mean, fill it with water and drain it out. keep doing it until there are no floatin particles. now with just the clean rice in the bowl fill it with two cups water (rice to water ratio: 1:2) cover, put it in the microwave, and zam on high for about 11-15 min. take it out, squish a grain of rice between your thumb and forefinger to see if its easy to squish (which means its easy to chew).
easy rice! voila. now in all indian things, rice is a staple. you always have to eat something with it. scrable eggs with salt and peppa and top off the rice. simple.
try making a few veggies, dont over cook them. take some canned beans (black or brown) and stickem in a pan. stick some veggies in there too and add some spices to taste (like soy sauce and stuff), there you go, protein, carbs and vitamins!
thats really basic. i wish i can tell you indian recipies but they are all extravangant, requiring spices that are hard to get.
