What are some good indian recipes for lunch?

Question

Can anyone please suggest me good and quick Indian recipes for lunch. Me and my sister both work and do not get time to cook proper food daily, hence either we survive on salad, pasta or buy food from outside. We have reached a point where we do not want to eat salad or pasta at all. So please no salad recipes. We need recipes which are quick to make so that we can make our lunch boxes in night and take it in morning.Thanks

Answer 1

Go to an Indian market and get instant Sambar soup mix (I like the MTR brand). Chop up some vegetables (potatoes, carrots, broccoli, sliced tomatoes, etc.) and cook them in the sambar, making a spicy vegetable stew. 1-2 cups of the sambar with the vegetables makes for a good sized lunch. It also keeps very nicely in the fridge for a day or two, and actually becomes more flavorful over time.

Two notes:
- Sambar is spicy! If you don't like spicy food, this isn't for you.
- Remember that vegetables cook at different rates. Cook the slow cooking vegetables, like potatoes or carrots, for 20-30 minutes and then add faster cooking items, like broccoli, at the last minute.

For something less *authentic*, but still with an Indian flavor, make chicken salad with curry powder. Yum.

Edit - Also, while at the Indian market, pick up some samosas. You can get them frozen in a variety of flavors (potato and pea, spinach and cheese) and sizes. Toss them in the oven and enjoy. They are good alone or with the sambar.
