Hey /ck/, I've fallen on hard times and need to save money, but owing to some minor digestion problems I still need to eat relatively healthy. What ingredients can I buy in bulk that can be reused in the most amount of recipes?
Ex: stock/broth, spices, rice, beans, etc.
Basically, I'm thinking about when Indians go shopping, they buy rice and curry and green leafy vegetables in bulk, the Chinese buy rice and green beans and sesame oil in bulk, they spend very little time and money at the store and have enough food to last the whole week or couple weeks. This is what I'd like to do as well.
I have no allergies, so throw out any ideas you got. Recipe titles would be helpful as well, if you have a specific item or items that you know can be paired with many different things.
Thank you all very much.

It's perfectly normal for a germanic language to use adjectives adverbially. Get your prescriptivist shit out of here.

I figure certain hand made recipes, like soups and bread, can be made with different combinations of ingredients bought in bulk.
Does anyone know any cultures, besides Chinese and Indian, that tend to buy in bulk to make all their recipes? Do Russians do this? Because I love Slavic cuisine, but have never made it myself.

prior 50's cuisine in europe, used to do that, like when they use the broth of the last week to make demiglace sauce

Thank you, I didn't know that.
I do that with stocks and broth, I use veggies I've blanched or lightly seasoned that weren't eating, or the odds and ends I don't use to cook, and the bones with a bit of meat left on them, throw that in a pot and let it sit for a few hours in the crock pot or on low heat.
I guess it's just that low-waste cooking.

>curry in bulk
k
generally it is good to have fresh vegetables to make sambar, curries, chutneys, whatever. there are things you can store for a very long time like rice, dal (lentils), shredded coconut, tamarind, etc., but you'll usually need <2 days old tomatoes or something.

Just use canned tomatoes. They're usually better anyway.

what the fuck did you just say about fresh tomatoes, you little bitch?
maybe if you're making ketchup
