Chickpea and Spinach Curry
The Chickpea and Spinach Curry is a super-healthy vegan curry. It’s packed full of flavor, colour and essential nutrients as calcium, iron, manganese, vitamin A and C. This simple backpacking meal is delicious by itself, but would also be awesome with some chapati or pita bread

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” 🙂
