One of my favorites is Mujadara. For those unaware, it's a dish of lentils, rice, and both fried and caramelized onions. It seems to tick all the boxes, and when you add vegan yogurt and some greens, it's delicious.

What are your favorite staples?

I would argue chapattis are even easier and faster, but otherwise correct. I prefer brown lentils because they hold their texture, and start by boiling them with onion, ginger, tumeric, and a whole chilli, then add some tomato paste and salt once I start reducing. Once it's reduced it comes off the heat and I fry garlic, onion, a pinch of chilli flakes and a shit load of cumin seeds in plenty of oil, and stir it all into the daal once the garlic starts to caramelise. The only problem is the 4 hours of soaking and hour+ of boiling and reducing that brown lentils need.
