Backstory
Hey my name is Ryan Amar.
Cooking has been a passion of mine for nearly 20 years, deeply influenced by my Indian-English heritage, where Indian food has always played a central role. After several years living in Asia, I recently returned to London and was shocked by the soaring cost of food. So, to curb the crazy prices, I started batch-cooking simple Indian vegetable curries—meals that freeze well and offer a quick, healthy and affordable dinner. While preparing these cheap and healthy dishes, I realised how valuable these recipes could be for others too. Made with wholesome vegetables, pulses and spices, they’re nourishing, protein-packed and incredibly cost-effective. In a world grappling with rising costs, these meals offer a delicious way to ease the burden in a time of rising living costs.

I'm so impressed with how easy these recipes are to follow. Alot of the prep work for the curries is the same so you can easily batch blend all the ingredients and it saves so much time. The meals are fantastic! Much cheaper than getting takeouts all the time. Our family loves it.

Ryan's cooking course is a lifesaver. Delicious meals that are easy to make and affordable. We usually like to batch cook fresh meals on a Sunday for the week ahead, because frankly, I don't have the energy to cook in the evenings. All these dishes taste great reheated directly from frozen.

I thought the videos were good. Instructions were clear but for the price I would have expected a few more recipes. I recently became a vegan and have been looking for more recipe ideas. Perhaps you could add more recipes in an update?
