Overwhelmed with studies and assignments, trying to be pleasant and entertain the kids along with the grown ups. No time for messing around, Dinner has to be quick.

Easy

For this recipe, I have used my instant pot, but do try a regular pot on the hob, a slow cooker or an oven. Of course, the time and method will vary plus the taste will be slightly different too.

Delicious

Quick yes but deliciousness is key.

Nutritious

For me to save time and money (paying doctor and pharmacy) I have to make sure we get a healthy and nutritious meal at least 80% of the time, and it's my responsibility do so

Budget friendly

December also means extended expenses so eating on a budget without compromising quality is a must. This recipe is an excellent example
