Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?

Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time? - Lemmy.world

I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_trinity]), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved. Is there any food that breaks this theory? [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a523e85e-1280-4932-ae09-8b4b45cd7f4c.jpeg]

@nijntjefan I think curry would would fit this description. Assuming you make it yourself, the ingredients aren't expensive, especially if you opt for legumes instead of meat.

hmmm curry is delicious but i've never made it myself. It sounds like a lot of work to get the various spices.

@nijntjefan Depends on the recipe. Some are more simpler and some are more complex. The good thing about the spices is that as buy them you slowly build up a reportoire that can be called upon when needed. The initial purchase is probably the most costly, but from then on, you don't need to replace them that frequently.

If you're looking for a good recipe, here's a simple one from a book I like. The recipe is purposely made to be easy to make, so if you feel up to it, I'd recommend trying it out.
