Indians have recipes like (beans) rajma, lentil soup/curry (daal) with vegetables & so many dishes that have cereals and pulses and are healthy.

I make vegetarian Chili all the time in big batches and freeze. I cup each dry black beans, white kidney beans and pinto beans soak at room temperature for 2 days changing out the water daily. Change the water again and boil on the third day until the beans are falling apart removing any foam (all the soaking, water changing and foam removal helps eliminate the gassiness of the beans). Drain water and add to the beans ... 2 to 3 diced yellow onions, 1 chopped red pepper, 1 chopped green pepper (optional to add a couple stalks diced celery and some diced white mushrooms), add I can pureed tomato or 5 diced tomatoes. Stir all. Add I cup of brine from a jar of pickled jalapeno. In a bowl mix the following seasonings and sprinkle over the chili 1 cup Chili powder, 3 tbsp garlic salt, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp chipotle seasoning, 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. Add 2 to 3 cups of water. Mix all. Bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered until the water is almost evaporated and the chili is wanting to stick to the bottom of the pot. Let cool and transfer to freezer containers.
Serve with cheese and guacamole (jalapenos, pickled onions, sour cream, Chipotle dressing, diced red onion) on nachos, on rice, on french fries, on salad, on baked potato. I always have this in my freezer, it's super inexpensive but filling and versatile.
