Im a pretty good cook when im at home, i dont shy away from it at all and cook dinner for the family most nights.
HOWEVER
When im at uni, away from a big kitchen and mum and all the stuff i need available i become soooooo lazyyyy and dont know what to cook and end up eating out for lunch and dinner and waste loads of money like 10-20 pounds a day!!
So does anyone have any easyish not to fattening recipe ideas which i can make at uni and then it lasts a few days?
And anyone have any lunch time ideas things i can make day before and arent too smelly…like cant take salan and chawal in a box as it would stink out the whole uni/hospital!
Hmm pasta is always good and easy, its a staple student food. You can experiment with pasta - theres so many ways to make it - pasta bake, tuna pasta bake, normal pasta on the hob and so on.
I always like buying the stuffed pasta - i think its called torteloni - morrisons often have offers on. Its delicious by itself or in sauce.. all you have to do is put it in boiling water for 1 minute and its ready. I like to use it to make this recipe:
i used to make a bunch of chicken karahi and freeze away portions, same with plain but good ol daal, mixed vegis, seekh kababs …
these foods don’t take a ton of ingredients. freeze n reheat well …
in terms of stinking up the hospital with desi food … WHAT??? … who cares??? its your food … don’t you have to put up with chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Italian and English scents???
anyhoo … I never had time during residency/med school to actually have a sit down meal … so lived off of various health bars, crackers or tuna sandwiches (out the pt fridge )
)
I’m a medical student… wow!
