    I cooked two plant-based meals for lunch and dinner:

    -Veggie Chilli
    -Veggie Sandwich with microwaved sweet potato fries; I ‘battered the fries with oregano, basil, paprika, and parmesan romano cheese

    I’ve been able to say within my calorie goal as well eating more plant-based meals.

    ^love that charring on that crust..which also looks beautifully crispy and thin!

    @o0Firekeeper0o - absolutely love Chana Masala too...the most memorable ones I've ever encountered were made by others. I'm impressed that you made your own Naan bread - another item that needs some real talent (and a Tandori oven if your lucky) for a good one.

    Haha! I ALMOST made my own naan, I didn’t have the time so this is just bread from the store :) . I will be trying it one of these days though. I know it won’t be the same since I don’t have a tandoor but it can be done so I’m willing to try. It seems like one of those recipes that’s easy to learn but hard to master.
    All the chana masala I’ve has has been from Indian restaurants and amazing. It’s probably one of my favorite vegetarian meals, period. I’m hoping I can figure out how to make a decent one, even if I need a few specialty ingredients!

    Homemade chana masala over seasoned rice with a heated buttered flatbread on the side (I was going to make naan but we got too busy). It was all right; it tastes a bit too much like chili. Certainly not bad but I’m researching how to make it taste more Indian; if anyone has pointers I’ll gladly take them. I LOVE chana masala[/quote]

    Try this recipe: https://www.food.com/recipe/channa-masala-17471 It's adapted from Madhur Jafrey's recipe, and she has never steered me wrong. I find the amchoor powder makes a really big difference compared to other recipes.

    Actually, I did read your initial comment about the 'store bought flat bread'...I meant to write 'make' instead of 'made'. 🙄 my bad

    @InCHarms - thanks for posting your 'go to' 😁- I've not even heard of amchoor powder before...(mango powder apparently)

    Yes it does, but this has to be used very VERY carefully.

    Also, love that the recipe says "serves 6-8" in what world lol :) that one dinner for me with leftovers for lunch........ maybe.[/quote]

    Oh, for sure... a little amchoor goes a LONG way.

    I generally ignore serving sizes for Indian food... it's my favorite and I have little portion control...

    @0_just_Tomek_0 and @InCHarmsWay - so in this recipe, would the 1 tablespoon be a good amount here or would you use less?

    That would be fine. If you use too much it is like a sour taste that will make your mouth pucker!

    Nice catch @CertifiedPersonalTrainer! Would have been nice to see your pic though!

    Every now and again, MFP has some great recipes! I have 3 more servings of "golden oatmeal" (mine with fresh turmeric) that will be polished off before Monday.
