Simple Weekly Plan 2.0

Ref: https://recipesbyabha.blogspot.com/2025/02/simple-weekly-plan.html

 

Still on the journey of simplifying meal planning.


Meal Preps

  • Boiled chana
  • Boiled quinoa
  • Boiled rajma
  • Soaked chia seeds
  • Greek yoghurt
  • Pickled cucumber
  • Pickled carrots
  • Pickled ginger, chillie, lemon
  • Chopped paneer stored in water bath - ready for saute'ing with a little piri-piri
  • Fresh fruit like pomegranate on top
  • Tahini?
  • Purple cabbage
  • Corn
  • Roasted peanuts
  • Steamed Corn
  • Dressings

Breakfast

Green juice - Add everything to blender at night - in morning, just mix and filter.

1 Fruit + Boiled eggs/omelette + Guacamole + Tea/Cookie

Or, (as I mostly do not want an egg)

Millet cheela (made with any sprouted millet flour, bhuna jeera, ajwain), paired with any leftover veggie, or guac, and/or greek yoghurt raita (made with 1 tsp chia seeds, jeera, black salt, pudina powder, and some random nuts/seeds and kishmish). I have been having this most mornings now, and it really works. Chia seeds add a lot of fiber.

School Lunch

Chocolate Peanut Butter Toast + Fruit

Or, Pasta


Lunch

Trying to go higher in protein. So thinking daal-lunches and millet-dinners.

So, some of the possibilities:

  1. Rajma-greek yoghurt-Rice
  2. Mexican spread using Rajma & beetroots
  3. Black/white chickpeas + greek yoghurt
  4. Chikpeas flour tikki with beetroots and nuts 
  5. Quinoa/couscous salad + Sauteed Paneer
  6. Rice-dahi-nuts/seeds (in summers)


Dinner

  1. Quinoa/Millets + Paneer + vegetable soup
  2. Tikki + paneer dip + salad + vegetable soup
  3. (for quick dinners) Rice + Sambar + Aloo/Fried egg (Sambar contains any available veggies) 


This keeps my mental bandwidth clear for planning other things. and I can of course make something fancier any day.
