Backpackers Pantry - Chana Masala
Backpacker's Pantry Chana Masala
A classic Punjabi chickpea curry that travels in your pack and rehydrates into something genuinely worth sitting down for.
Backpacker's Pantry built this chana masala around the fundamentals of the dish: chickpeas, chilies, and rice in a spiced curry that respects its Punjab roots. The flavour profile is bold and warming without being one-dimensional, which is exactly what you want from a curry that's been freeze-dried and carried across a portage. It's the kind of meal that makes the backcountry feel a little more civilised.
Two servings per pouch makes this a smart option for shared meals at camp, splitting the weight between paddling partners or stretching the food budget on longer trips. High in both calories and protein, it's built to refuel after the kind of full-body effort that multi-day paddling and backpacking demands. Prep is as straightforward as it gets: boiling water, seal, and 15 to 20 minutes of rehydration time before you're eating from the pouch.
Note that the manufacturer description does not include complete nutritional details, so check current packaging for calorie count, protein, net weight, dietary flags, and shelf life before heading out.
