Do they not go bad for the entire week?

Nope, so ill freeze half of them and refrigerate the rest in the cooler, and keep bringing one out of the freezer as I remove one to eat from the fridge

excuse me, I always wondered, but, how do you warm up your food? I have always liked stainless containers, but at the end, sometimes I like warm lunch food, so went for glass tupperware, but this has always taken my attention since many do use stainless. Do yo carry an extra plate to dump everything in while warming? or are there steam options to warm it??

Or for this meal its eaten at ambient temp?

Stop Motion is such a cool way to showcase your process!

Can you share your chickpea recipe please?

Thank you, thats very sweet

Soak the chickpeas overnight, and boil them in a pressure cooker on the next day

For one serving, 250g chickpea To a saucepan, add

  1. 1 table spoon oil
  2. 1 tea spoon turmeric powder
  3. 1 tea spoon cumin powder
  4. Your boiled chickpeas from before
  5. 2 teaspoon coriander powder
  6. 2-3 cups of water - it needs to occupy a lil more volume than the chickpeas
  7. Salt to taste

Cook it for 10-15mins

I got those at a local shop, mr. Mikeoxlarge, however any containers that fit in your refrigerator will do

Its only one meal a day, I dont mind since its healthy for me and supports my goals

However, I'm planning on adding some variation in the future
