I think I've done it, I think I've made the best tramping curry and Harry said I should share the recipe here. While on Bush Ball 2023 I decided to make a curry for dinner. I've made curry on tramps before but it's usually been meh or somewhat heavy to carry in (I have taken two entire cans of cocunut cream for a curry before) and rice is a bit of a pain to cook tramping, and uncle bens rice isn't the best tbh. But this time I found coconut milk powder, replaced rice with just instant mash and I didn't put corned beef in it for once (I've been known to put corned beef in meals it doesn't belong in).
Ingredients:
- Dehydrated Peas
- Dehydrated Mushrooms (bit hard to find in a supermarket buy any vegetables will do)
- Curry Paste (I used tikka masala paste)
- Cocunut milk powder
- Instant mash
All you do is fill up about half your billy (Although I have quite a small billy so maybe just half of what you think you would eat) with the dehydrated vegetables. Then pour enough water to cover the vegetables. Mix all of the curry paste in, it says it serves 4 people but just means it's gonna be strong and nice for one person. Cook them for 5-10 mins until they are fully hydrated. Then you dump then entire 100g of coconut milk powder into it which apparently makes a litre of cocunut milk, but since we aren't usuing that much water it becomes super concentrated with I think is why the curry turns out really sweet/rich. And then you can just keep adding instant mash until the curry is no longer liquid and can just be picked up with a fork (and it should now be about twice as high as the water level orignally was)
Enjoy!
