I’m trying to learn and lean more towards frugality since things have been getting too expensive and would love suggestions
What i like/aim to learn
- anything simple that can be made with chickpea without adding too many of other stuff
- overly time consuming to prepare i will avoid for now so i stay motivated to learn
- willing to learn baking (prefetably if it goes well with flaxseeds/mashed banana or some other very accessible binding)
I want to keep it healthy so pairing legumes with grains/seeds/nuts (though nuts less accessible atm for me to overly rely on it)


YouTube. I’ll think of something I want to make/eat, like say, channa masala. Then I’ll watch like 5 different videos of people cooking it. Sometimes it will be a search like “easy channa masala” or “quick channa masala”. After a few videos I know if it’s something I wanna tackle and I have the gist of it. Then I’ll pick one of the videos to emulate closely.
