Hey! Do I have to cook the rice and chick peas first then dry them ? Or can I just put them both as they are, dry out of the bag from the store. (Dried beans + dry rice from th bag)
Hi! Both methods are working.
There’s no way this is 698 calories. There has to be an error in the math somewhere. If it’s true, I’d love to buy the same brand of chickpeas and rice as you. My coconut powder has the same calories.
Really great recipe, but how did you get your nutrition info? I did the calculations for my own use and got 270 calories/serving with this recipe. Is there something I’m missing?

Hi Julia! The nutrition info for the same product (rice or coconut milk powder) can vary from brand to brand.
Can I make the recipe and then dehydrate it at once like some others I’ve seen here? I have a dehydrator.
To rehydrate, I’ve always just boiled water and then let it soak for about 10-15 min. Never had any problems. Is there a reason, you “cook” it instead of soaking?
It’s totally ok to soak meals instead of cooking. We just want to get our food “now” 🙂
