Hey,
I was wondering how long the dehydrated food was okay to eat before it turns bad/ moldy/ something? Thanks 🙂

  If the food was dehydrated properly it never comes moldy and can be stored for years!

Is there any way to rehydrate this meal using boiling water instead of boiling the water and curry bark mixture together?

Is there any way to rehydrate this recipe by adding boiling water instead of by boiling the water with the mix in it?

  Sure! You can rehydrate this dish by adding boiling water too. However, rehydration time will increase up to 20-30 minutes.

Just come across your site after looking around for dehydrated recipes so I can make some lovely, healthy meals when out camping. Lovely site and very well put together. Just a quick question about this recipe (https://www.trail.recipes/recipes/mixed-vegetable-sabji/), it says 1.5kg mixed veg. How many servings per person does this recipe cater for? Thanks. Tom 🙂
