I made another quick, cheap, and lazy vegetarian meal that will help with my nutrition.
This one took approximately 20-30 minutes to prepare. You can easily add everything in one mix and let the flavour seep into the vegetables.
My pot was too small, so I did as a part of a 2-step process.

How did I make it?
- I put the rice into the rice cooker. Let that cook for 20 mins.
- Boiled the potatoes for 10 minutes.
- Added the rest of the vegetables, kidney beans, and Green curry, and coconut mix and let it boil for another 10 minutes.
Tip to make it quicker.
I bought the vegetables fresh, cleaned them, and chopped them up. You could buy frozen vegetables that’s already chopped if you want to speed up the process.
This will probably save you 5-10 minutes.
