That's a great callout! These aren't just spice packets -- they include everything you need for the dish like you mentioned. You can see the full ingredients list for each dish under 'Benefits' of the page. For example, sambar includes carrots, bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, spice and the full seasoning. The only ingredient missing is water!
Do you mind to share what you eat for 20usd/week and, more importantly, in which region you achieve that? I am in Italy, and I believe that budget would suffice for maximum one day. Thank you
I have lived on that before in the US and it’s not that hard. You just need to buy macro-nutritionally dense food at super markets - rice, chicken, beans, cooking oil, butter, oatmeal, noodles, etc.
Of course the problem is that you don’t get a super varied diet which can be problematic both mentally and nutritionally. It can also become a bit harder to incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet when they’re not on sale. And you also need to cook a decent amount
When I was in Rome I found that I could eat on less than $20 a day extremely easily so unless you’re going to restaurants every day I’m not sure how you spent so much
At least in the US, you can make vegetarian Indian dal for seven days' dinner for about $20, probably less. Lentils are incredibly cheap at the Indian store, and onions, garlic and chiles are also very cheap. Vegetarian Indian food is not expensive to make, it's just somewhat difficult and time consuming. The most expensive thing you'll have to buy is the bread. If you try and get your spices at <Insert popular grocery store>, you will get scammed (small McCormick cumin ~ $5+). You can buy spices in bulk for an order of magnitude less money at the Indian store.
Eggs I eat 3 whites and two full. But yes it gets very boring (the eggs, milk a little less). I have to gain weight for gym though. Soon will get a cook and try to lower eggs/milk.
5 Spice packets for 24$ isnt what I consider cheap, given I eat for an entire week on ~20$, including a curry chicken dish.
If I misunderstood(like veggies and beans are included), could you mention that in the product page?
