Here is a CHana masala (Chickpea curry) recipe that I made the other day. I add chicken to it too.

1.

Fry some chopped onions and garlic ( 2 cloves) until soft. Garlic is optional. In a separate pan boil about 5 cups of water with a chicken stock cube.

2. Add about 2 teaspoons of finely chopped ginger and fry for about 2 minutes. Make sure the pan isnt too hot or it will burn.

3. Add 2 teaspoons of tumeric and then throw in 1 or 2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces.

4. Once the chicken is cooked, pour in a can of chopped tomatoes, the chicken stock, and a can of chickpeas. I also add some some brocolli and aubergine. Also add a bay leaf and a few cardamom pods if you have them available.

5. Add some salt and black pepper, and about 2 tablespoons of garam masala. Bring it to the boil and let it simmer until it thickens (will take about 30-50 minutes).

You dont have to be strict with measurements of tumeric and garam masala. About 2 spoons of each tastes right to me but its really individual preference.
Its a very mild curry and its fairly easy to make. With rice it should do 4 fairly large portions.

Another good cheat,is pre-made marinades
A company called World Harbors makes some kick butt ones.
Just start your meat marinading and either broil or grill,it'll shunt off the fat of the meat

Here is a canny Salmon and Tomato risotto i mad a few days ago.

First crumble a chicken stock cube in a pan with four cups of water(You might not use all) once its boiled keep it on a low heat.

MElt some butter with a bit of olive oil in a seperate pan or skillet. (I will leave the amount up to you, doesnt have to be strict)

Once the butter is melted, put in a cup of rice and stir the rice for one or two minutes to make sure its all covered with the mixture.

Add about half a can of tomatoes or some passata (I dont measure, i just add enough so all the rice is covered)

Stir in a ladle of stock and make sure the rice and liquid is simmering. Add two small salmon steaks and let them cook in the liquid. Turn over after about ten minutes

Each time the rice absorbs the stock, add another ladle of stock. This should take betwen 20-25 minutes for the risotto to cook. Its pretty boring but trust me, it will taste good.

The salmon will be pretty soft after 20-25 minutes and if you want you can break it up and mix it into the risotto or leave it whole (entirely up to you)

Once its done (around 20-25 minutes) take it off the heat, add some salt and black pepper and some dried sweet basil and parsley(again, the amount is up to you, taste it and if you need more salt etc put it in) and you are ready to eat.

Whole wheat tortilla wraps.

Filled with tuna mixed with a little bit of light mayo, old chedder cheese, lettuce and tomato. Wrap em up and tum.

nice also with a lean cappacolo meat, hummus for a spread, also chedder cheese and lettuce.

Quick and easy to make, or saran wrap and take with you on the fly.

Hummus is a nice snack on its own, dipping into it with a whole wheat pita bread too.

It`s not too hard to make (hummus) but you can likely buy it for close to what it`d cost to make.

Yea, I forget about this thread. Seriously, you have to try the mango salad. It's somehow just the right mix of different tastes, plus is refreshing to eat. Easy as heck to make. Goes with anything. Plus is perfect for throwing into a tupperware container to eat on the fly. That'll last you 2 or 3 days easy unless you are feeding a bunch.

A few things that i eat on a regular basis and are good for people that train hard.

1.)
Greek omelette: Green peppers, onions, tomatoes, fetta cheese.

The key to a good omelette is to cook the veggies first so they arent hard and then make the eggs and add the veggies to them.

I usually eat mine with turkey bacon or canadian bacon and whole wheat toast.

2.)
Cottage cheese- its full of slow release casein protein and glutamine. Best eaten a couple hours before a workout or before bed. I like it with tomatoes or peaches.

3.)
Protein shake: Not just for gaining weight, they are good for anyone that trains hard. Bruce Lee used to have 2 shakes per day.

Use any or all of the following: protein powder, milk, frozen or fresh berries, raw eggs, psylium fiber husks, yogurt, peanut butter, juice, flax oil, ice.

4.)
Trail mix- almonds, peanuts, cashews, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, raisins, dates. Full of good fats and protein.
