Equipment
- Half Sheet Pan
- Mixing Bowls
- Knife
Ingredients
- 1 box (12 total) Mini Vegetable Samosas
- 4 mini cucumbers
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups cooked white rice (I use frozen, microwaveable jasmine rice)
- 2 10-ounce pouches ready-to-serve Trader Joe's curries (like Coconut Chickpea Curry, Madras Lentils, and or Tikka Vegetables; these are sold near the canned goods)
- cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- plain yogurt, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the samosas according to package directions.
- Finely chop the cucumber and combine it with the rice vinegar, cooking oil, and salt.
- Heat the rice and curries according to package directions.
- Into 4 meal prep containers, divide the rice, curries, and samosas. (Preferably do this in containers with divided sections so that you can keep the samosas separate.)
- Top the curry with cilantro leaves, if using.
- Store the cucumber salad in 4 separate small containers (I used 4-ounce mason jars).
- When ready to reheat, warm the rice, curry, and samosas in the microwave for about 90 seconds.
- Serve with cucumber salad and plain yogurt.
