My wife and I, while not Indian, fell in love with instant upma when an Indian grocery moved into the neighbourhood.
But yeah, I get where you're coming from when you want something super low maintenance. As others are recommending, oat milk is pretty good on cereal. I only wish I could by it (or any alt-milk for that matter) by the gallon instead of in those cardboard cartons.
Hey have you tried Jamaican patties? You say you're a student and those little yellow bombs got me through university. You can usually buy them in bulk and they're a surprisingly cheap source of protein. And they tend to come in different levels of spiciness to suit your preference. They nuke in like a minute so perfect for pulling an all-nighter. I lived in Toronto at the time and it was the go-to snack for students at U of T.
Jamaican patties look like a good option.
I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to Indian food. I can't stand any of the instant stuff, especially the ones available in US. I guess it's like having pizza in US for someone from Italy lol.
Yeah fair I can see that. Though I have to say, I am rather impressed by some of these curries in a shelf-stable pouch you can buy nowadays. They may not be as good as the real thing, but they taste so much better than many other convenience offerings. I bet the Indian army must have best-tasting rations!
Oh it just occurred to me you may have dietary restrictions. The classic Jamaican patty is ground beef, alas, though jerk chicken is also popular. I think I've seen vegetarian patties too, though they may be a little harder to source?
