🟡Turmeric in the mortar & pestle

There are 2 recipes here that use Turmeric, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Fried Catfish with Shrimp Paste Sambal at 30 minutes; the longest, Fried Catfish with Tomato Sambal, takes 30.

None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 2 are properly spicy.

Turmeric turns up most often alongside Catfish, Bird's eye chili, Red chili and Tomato — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
