Seeking protein-rich spicy make ahead meals

tamarwe

Does anyone have any protein rich spicy make-ahead meals? I am a huge fan of making usually veggie dishes that I can make on a Sunday and then eat through the whole week.

Any links/threads/etc. you have would be awesome. Thanks.

What kind of spicy food? Indian? Mexican? Thai?

I am flexible. I will say that I do have a bigger affinity to Indian food, if that helps.

Here are some meals I've made so far:
Tofurky Jambalaya - http://www.tofurky.com/recipes/recipe_details.asp?RecipeDataID=65
Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry - http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/slow-cooker-vegetable-curry/ (this was great)
Vegetarian Chili - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-vegetarian-chili-in-the-world/

I am not vegetarian, but I don't eat pork... not that it would be recommended anyway

No peanut garnish for me but would use all other ingredients.

Lots of options here. I'll go with Thai curry paste. It's delicious, cheap, healthy, and versatile. If you have a neighborhood Asian grocery store, look for Maesri or Mae Ploy brands. Mix a spoonful or two with coconut milk, and it makes a wonderful sauce for chicken, pork, beef, any seafood, vegetables, rice, etc. (I usually just simmer a bag of frozen vegetables in it.)
