I forgot to take a photo of my own (this is one I found on the web), but I made Aloo Curry soup. When you order this in an Indian restaurant you can see the ghee coating the surface, and it's always pretty salty. My version was much simpler.
The ingredients were:
1.5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
30mls vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 red chili minced
2 cups water
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
0.5 teaspoon amchur green mango powder
0.5 teaspoon paprika
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.25 teaspoon cayenne to taste
I made this in the instant pot, but it could be made in a dutch oven or on the hob with the addition of more water.
I sautéd the cumin, mustard seeds and chilli in the oil until the cumin seeds were golden. Then I tipped in all the other ingredients, stirred thoroughly, sealed and cooked on the soup setting for 10 minutes, then allowed the pressure to naturally release. I then used a fork to break the potatoes apart, smashing some of the potatoes into the curry to thicken the sauce. I added a little more water to adjust the curry to the desired consistency and served straight away.
If making on the stovetop, you'd need to cook for around 30 minutes in total until the potates were thoroughly cooked. And you'd probably need about 5-6 cups of water.
The instant pot version made 3 good-sized portions at 257 calories a portion.
I had it for dinner last night and again for lunch today, and it was just as good when reheated.

I made Hawaiian musubi today. It’s traditionally made with a slab of Spam which isn’t bad. But I prefer the salmon version. Recipe at https://www.npr.org/2012/07/03/156205694/salmon-musubi

I use the wider strips of kombu -seaweed- to wrap. Can be made vegetarian with sautéed slab of firm tofu. Also saw a version with egg with veggies and one with smoked whitefish in Hawaii. Usually eaten cold or room temp.3

Repeat to self Pav: My body is not a garbage bin!
Nothing simpler than my aloo curry soup. And way fewer artificial ingredients than Knorr consomme and instant mash! Show your body some love and respect, dude!2 -

That looks lush! Hate Spam… nightmares to 1970’s GB and served that processed stuff with everything…Ugh!3 -
One perk of being a military wife for many years was exposure to many cuisines. You never knew what you might get when invited to dinner so you smiled and enjoyed. Just don’t ask ingredient questions! I’ve had frog legs, chipolinas (fried hot grasshoppers), escargot, sea cucumbers, squid ink pasta, mayonnaise cheese white bread sandwiches and everything in between. Pot lucks we’re amazing.4

And smiled politely too, I bet.
But didn’t feel the need to repeat the dish at home...3 -
Nope - that’s just gross! Wouldn’t touch that.3 -
Oh man, PAV the double punch!3
-
See Pav, it's so bad that even a person who smiled politely at frogs legs and fried grasshoppers thinks it's gross!3

I smell lack of appreciation of the convenience food isle 😘
(Not that there's much to appreciate... but it does get the job done when in a hurry and not prepared 👍(2
