Indian food my friend! Loads of pulse based dishes that are not difficult, and very inexpensive. Dal, Channa, Pani Puri, Paneer etc... If it works for 1 billion modest Indians, it will work for you.
Even if you add meat, you can use the cheapest cuts and include the bones for savoury broth making built into the dish.
I did Gobi Aloo last week!
Pulse? Is that a typo for potato?
Pulse crops are things like lentils, peas, chickpeas, etc. Similar to how cereal crops refer to things like wheat, barley, oats, etc.
Thank you, never heard of that before
(And thanks to the guy asking for all the uncultured swines, like me)
In the states that's not a commonly known word, probably because we eat almost none of those foods. Thanks for the info!
Pulse is pulse. No potato. Is only dream.
*Cries in Latvian.
Oh, man, I'd almost forgotten about the Latvian potato jokes from reddit :D
One of the small things that make your cold and dark day a little darker is finding an odd Latvia joke in the wild
Usually when people say "pulse" in this context they're talking about lentils.
In my search for a reference for you, I discovered that it's a bit more complicated than that, and many beans are considered pulses too.
