Backpackers Pantry Kathmandu Curry: Savory, Authentic Indian Curry Dish for the Adventurous Eater

This item is only for 1 portion, not 2.: Annoyed that I purchased this for 2 persons but it’s only a portion for 1.

TracyS: The taste was decent however the salt content was too high and it overwhelmed the other flavors

mark lerner: Extremely tasty and filling. Having a meal of potatoes and vegetables while camping really makes one feel satisfied and ready for a days hike when compared with the gravy-filled mountain house meat that is typical. The nutrition facts are as good or better, with way more fiber that allows for easy bowl movements in the early mornings. With this one I would recommend adding a bit more water and dumping the remaining broth to avoid too much sodium (if you are worried - you should eat these after a long days hiking). I hiked with a couple of these meals (also the Chana masala) and a few mountain house (chicken fried rice, beef stew), and each night I wanted the backpackers pantry.

Curtis: Really liked this; in the past, most of my freeze-dried "on-the-trail" meals have been pretty standard stuff like biscuits and gravy, stroganoff, chicken alfredo. I really liked having something with a different flavor, more like I eat when I'm at home (I eat a lot of curry and other Indian food as well as food from quite a variety of Asian countries). The lentils made this quite filling. I ate both servings myself in one sitting because I needed the calories after hiking, but I could definitely see sharing this with someone if we also had some other snacks or side items to share (power bars, dessert items, jerky, etc.).

Packed thin and light. Needs to sit quite long with the hot water compared to other meals I'm used to (15-20 minutes vs. 9 minutes). But if you realize that and plan ahead, it's not an issue at all, and it was worth the wait!

Will definitely order again. I also plan to try some of their other meals.

Asif: This is absolutely delicious for a fall camping when it’s a bit chilly out. I split with 2 other friends and it fed us well and we LOVE to eat. I will give a warning shake it up a bit before putting the water and shake with the water. The salt and flavors tend to fall to the bottom so the first few bites were bland and it got very salty at the end for us. But it’s so good and a good hint of spice!
