Re: Men at work !
Why bechara…if he has a problem, he should start cooking.
Or getting takeaway or having dinner out with pals, pick a diff pal for each day since they may not be blessed with temporary geographical bachelorhood

Re: Men at work !
CB, why dont you make basic masala for curries in bulk,divide them in servings and freeze so he can throw in fried chicken/veggies,etc into it and you are done ?
Re: Men at work !
I find it funny that desi dudes would cook and clean etc in their college years (those living abroad) before getting married. Once they get married they expect to be pampered like a baby. Or maybe men in my family are different, they pitch in cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc, so I don’t get why we treat men as some strange specie who can’t take care of their basic needs. So, cb, yes get all easy recipes and let him experiment in the kitchen.
another easy peasy recipe…
marinate chicken with salt, blk pepper, yogurt, lemon juice. Put the chicken in a baking tray (optional=with onions, potatoes, carrots). Bake on 350F for 45 mins or you can also cook it in a pot on stove. Make sure the pan is on medium low heat.
Defrost some fish slices in water, once soft, dabb them dry with paper towel, sprinkle salt and blk pepper. heat little oil in a pan, cook the fish 2-3 mins on each side. Enjoy with pita bread, raita, and salad
Re: Men at work !
Instead of looking for recipes that you are unfamiliar with, I would take recipes that you cook regularly (and it seems you’re pretty talented in that department:)) and teach your husband how to make them by having him make them with you in your own kitchen for the first time. He will learn which pots you use and where you keep everything, etc., etc., That way when you can’t cook you will at least get to eat food that you like and are used to. I am learning how to cook traditional desi food from a friend (and online) and I find the best way is to watch her and to make a video (just using my phone) of the important steps.
Since I’ve started watching and making videos, I can reproduce her results. When she emailed me a recipe, it never came out right.
