place. Of course, this can also be found in the cafeteria as a breakfast option.
Guacamole
For 4 people, grab 2 avocados. They should be slightly brown and somewhat soft. If the point at the end of the avocado looks ready to fall off, that's the sign of a ready-to-eat avocado. Cut the avocado skin the tall way and scoop out the inside into a bowl. Add a good amount of fresh squeezed lemon or lime or concentrated lemon/lime juice. Also add a good amount of salt (to taste). You can add Vegenaise for a creamier texture and tangy flavor. Also add tabasco or garam masala for some spice! Mash with forks (or a potato masher) until creamy and enjoy! Dig in with tortilla chips or other scooping agents of choice.
Lentil soups/däl (very healthy option!)
If you're looking for a healthy option, and if your dormitory allows you to have a crockpot/slow cooker, this is a great way to cook some lentils and get some additional protein. You will have to buy some lentils at the grocery store or at an Indian grocery store.
Step 1: Measure out 1 cup of lentils, and remove all debris (rocks, etc.) which may not have been filtered out.
Step 2: Using a strainer or colander, wash the lentils and drain the water out.
Step 3: Under a low setting, add the lentils and 4 cups of water to the crockpot (proportion should be about 1:4 lentils to water.) Allow to cook for 4 hours. If you want to speed up the cooking, cook under a high setting, and cook for 2 hours.
Step 4: Turn off crockpot!
Step 5: Remove lentils and strain water out. Add to bowl and add spices accordingly.
**If a crockpot is allowed in your dorm, there are so many other crockpot recipes you could find online! **
