Tikka Masala in a pinch

So yesterday I was craving tkka masala, so I went to publix to find some garam masala. The didn't have any, but they did have a spice pack, which I saw another reddit user use. It was so good!

I did make a few adjustments to the recipe on the back. Instead of making the onions translucent I browned them. I already had premade chicken, so i skipped that step. I added fresh ginger, garlic and of course salt and pepper to taste.

Next time I hope to make a yogurt marinade for my chicken and actually use traditional spices, but this was so cheap and good I would definitely use this spice pack in a pinch.

Recipes to use up a ton of oat flour?

Hoping this is the right sub for this. I messed up and bought 50lbs of oat flour for misguided homemade soylent related reasons (turned out awful). Now that that foul-tasting dream is dead I have no idea what to do with all the damn oat flour. I don't do much baking so I as hoping I could get some advice about what I could do to start using it up instead of it being a gigantic waste/mistake that keeps naggling me from the corner of my kitchen and annoying my roommate.

I tried this gnocchi recipe and it turned out bad; the dough was really crumbly even after adding two eggs and wouldn't roll out like normal gnocchi. I had to form little balls individually by hand which were super lumpy and didn't cook evenly. I'm willing to try just about anything as long as it's:

1. Edible
2. Not a super difficult recipe for a novice baker.

Please help with any recipe suggestions! Bread? Muffins? Cookies? Pasta? Help!

I have problems swallowing, help me find easy to make and swallow lunches.

I won't go into much details, but I have a hard time to swallow food. Most of my diner is already adapted to it, but I still don't have much idea's about what to eat for lunches. Usually I eat just bread and cold cuts/deli products, but I'm getting tired of it always sticking to my throat.

So if you could suggest me foods/recipes that are easy to make and swallow, that would be super awesome.
