Cooking for one

Any quick recipes while living alone?
I find it bothersome to cook for a single person, So I end up eating whatever, mostly processed/junk food or instant cup noodles

Too many to list. Pasta + sauce. Stir fry. Pan-fry a steak/chop/chicken part/fish with veggies and/or rice on the side. Bake a casserole. Burgers. Sandwiches. Grill a steak, chicken, or hamburger. Curry. Stew. Soup.

It's no different than cooking for multiple people. Either scale the recipe down or make the full one, then portion it up and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers.

Yes, but the time and effort consumed doesn't worth it.
>Too many to list
What about quick one that require less than 20 min, or recipes that even a novice can do?
>Curry

Buy meat in large quantities, freeze everything, then dethaw in a submerged plastic bag and grill it.

It will fix the very problem you are complaining about. Cooking a larger batch of food takes the same effort as a small batch. But you end up with more food. So you freeze some of it (takes hardly any effort at all), then on another day when you're feeling lazy and don't want to cook all you do is reheat some stuff you already made. Saves lots of time and money.

>What about quick one that require less than 20 min, or recipes that even a novice can do?
Everything I listed can be done by a novice. Baking a casserole or cooking a stew takes longer than 20 min, but it's no more work on your part, it's just hands-off cooking.

Curry like you pictured is easy. But it does take more than 20 min. Most of that time is hands-off though; you're just waiting for the meat to cook until it becomes tender.

Buy a crock pot. Throw some meat, veggies, and some sort of liquid then let it run all day. Eat it and freeze the left overs. Get a week's worth of food for almost no effort. It's really hard to fuck up.

You can do the same with a normal pot on the stove set on very low heat

You can make the same with paneer and it'll be less than 15 minutes with maybe 5 minutes prep. And most of those 15 is just softening onions and reducing some tomato sauce. Paneer only needs to be warmed, no cooking required.
