Some grain-and-legume mix, like rice and beans, lentils, chickpea etc. with anything extra dumped in it like veggies and herbs
Here is a simple pulao thing I made recently, which you can do as a one pot recipe
Slice up aromatics like onion and garlic, or use a paste. It doesn't matter how evenly you cut it bc you will fry the hell out of them until they caramelize
Dump in your legumes, preferably cooked or canned; otherwise you should boil them until soft now
Dump your (preferably well-washed) rice in now
Add any herbs, greens, or veggies you want which can cook with the rice and add flavor and volume
Also add salt and any spices
Dump water until it is all submerged under 1 inch, or about 2-3x the rice quantity usually
Cook covered until everything is cooked
I always have basmati rice at home, a can of chickpeas or beans, onions, and some dried herb mix, so I can easily whip up full meals for the next few days with this recipe
