hiiiii my loves! does anyone have any vegetarian/vegan chili and other batch-cookable freezable food recipes that are (A) easy to cook, (B) can be made with cheap ingredients available in NZ and (C) that can be done in large batches and frozen? Please boost for reach

@freya here's a slimmed down version of a flexible, non-"authentic" veggie curry I make in the fall & winter:

- sautée onions, garlic, & curry spices in butter (or ghee or oil) until fragrant
- add stock & bring to simmer
- add lentils & chick peas and cook until half done
- add chopped potatoes & carrots and cook until everything is done
- optionally serve with rice / naan, top with plain yogurt & cilantro

spices: I often start with garam masala or curry powder & tweak (cumin , turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, coriander, cardamom, chili, pepper)

if using dry lentils / chick peas, rinse & soak for a few hours first.

quantities: I usually eyeball. For a 2-person meal with ~lunch-sized leftovers, it's pretty much 1 of everything (1 onion, garlic to taste, 1 can lentils, 1 can chickpeas, 1 large potato, 1 jumbo carrot, 1 tetrapak stock). 50% more spices than I think I need.
