Our spin on this classic Indian curry dish from the Punjab region features delectable chickpeas in a blend of chilies and rice. It’s also high in protein and calories, making it the perfect way to refuel after a long day spent outside. You’ll hardly believe a pot, water, heat to get that water boiling, and 15-20 minutes of rehydration time is all that lies between you and a lightweight, nutritionally balanced meal. Backpacker Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award winning backpacking meal of the year! It deserves all the accolades it gets. A full flavored, delicious, vegan meal for backpacking or at your desk. Two hearty servings provide high protein, nutritionally balanced vegetarian comfort food for the longest of days. Highest quality turmeric is used for brain and joint health. The authentic spices and coconut milk are a rich base for the rice, freeze-dried garbanzos and vegetables in this international favorite from the Punjab region of India. Backpacker’s Pantry Chana Masala is the best meal outside of a 5 star Indian restaurant you can find and it is yours to enjoy on a mountain top, on a sailboat, in a tent or a bird blind. Traveling with Backpacker’s Pantry Chana Masala is a cinch because of it’s durable compact packaging & it conveniently only needs two cups of boiling water and about 20 minutes hydration time to make a two serving pouch. Enjoy as a side dish if you are car camping & grilling a chicken breast. Don’t forget the naan! Also delicious as a room temperature salad for lunch or rolled in a tortilla. Just hydrate at camp in the morning & bring along for later. Chana Masala happens to be nut free, soy free, dairy-free and gluten free. Best of all it is Non-GMO as well. Seven year shelf life lets you be prepared for any emergency. Soy free. Review: Chana Masala: Pretty Good - SPICY. A warning to those with sensitive palates. This is spicy. I love spicy food so it tastes good to me. But I can see how some might not like this. I followed the instructions, but it was still a little underhydrated. So an added a splash of hot water and let it sit. For a really long time because I got busy doing other things. Then the consistency was good. I know not at all “survivalist”, but it tasted really good scooped on flatbread with Greek yogurt, chopped fresh coriander, and a squeeze of fresh lime. The portion is large enough for two. I really enjoyed eating this. Review: Taste great! - Product as described. First time using it and it tastes great. Will buy again. ## Features - GOOD FOOD ON THE GO. Enjoy straight-from-the-kitchen taste wherever you are with our Chana Masala. Whether you're camping, backpacking, or spending the day on the lake, a taste of home is just minutes away. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07L4HQF8F | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Best Sellers Rank | #26,289 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #47 in Camping Freeze-Dried Food | | Brand | Backpacker's Pantry | | Brand Name | Backpacker's Pantry | | Color | See Packaging | | Container Type | Pouch | | Cuisine | Indian | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 75 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free, Vegan | | Flavor | Chana Masala | | Global Trade Identification Number | 30048143023020, 30048143023198 | | Included Components | 6 Pack | | Item Type Name | Freeze Dried & Dehydrated Backpacking Food | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Backpacker's Pantry | | Model Number | 102302-CASE-6 | | Number of Items | 6 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Package Information | Pouch | | Package Size Name | 6 Pack | | Part Number | 102302-CASE-6 | | Set Name | Chana Masala | | Size | 6 Count | | Specialty | Vegan | | Unit Count | 6.0 Count | | Warranty Description | See Package | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Backpacker's Pantry - **Flavor:** Chicken, Chili, Coconut - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 6 - **Package Information:** Pack ## Images ![Chana Masala - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fh+1FccbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chana Masala: Pretty Good *by B***J on December 30, 2023* SPICY.
