Each lightweight pouch delivers two servings of high-protein, gluten-free chickpea curry with authentic spices, ready in just 15-20 minutes by adding boiling water. Perfect for camping, backpacking, or as a shelf-stable emergency meal, it combines convenience, nutrition, and bold flavor in one portable package. ## Description You’ll get two servings from this pouch, but we doubt you’ll want to share. 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. Review: Great flavor and texture - Maybe I don't expect a lot from freeze-dried meals, which also makes me cringe at their cost, but I think this meal was one of the better ones I've had. Yes, it's not restaurant or homemade quality. If you pick up a freeze-dried meal expecting that, then I don't know what to say. If you know what you're getting yourself into though, then this is a great addition to your meal rotation. Especially if you're looking for something meat-less. And as far as price goes, this is in one of the more affordable ranges for freeze-dried meals, which is nice as it gives me more options to take out with me. As others have mentioned, there is a noticeable spice to it. If you like spicy food, then it's nice to have that as an option and there were no digesting issues experienced from it. If you are sensitive to spicy foods though, then be warned. Especially if you have a limited supply of water with you. 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. ## Features - GOOD FOOD ON THE GO. Enjoy straight-from-the-kitchen taste wherever you are with our Chana Masala.

When uoj walked for the whole day, nobody is that picky. Again if your spice tolerance is zero, I do recommend buying something else. ## Frequently Bought Together - Backpacker's Pantry Chana Masala - Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food - Emergency Food - 21 Grams of Protein, Vegan, Gluten-Free - 1 Count - Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai - Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food - Emergency Food - 23 Grams of Protein, Vegan, Gluten Free - Backpacker's Pantry Kathmandu Curry - Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food - Emergency Food - 24 Grams of Protein, Vegan, Gluten-Free - 1 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/309871544-chana-masala-two-serving-pouch-packaging-may-vary](https://www.desertcart.be/products/309871544-chana-masala-two-serving-pouch-packaging-may-vary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
