Will be on an extended backcountry trip next month and making dinner for 7. I’m going to make chicken tikka Marsala with canned chicken and jar sauce along with those cooked bags of dal.

Question is what veg can I add to the curry? I’m thinking canned water chestnuts for crunch and maybe pickled cauliflower.

Any ideas? Remember no refrigeration and temps will be 100 plus for days before I cook.

1. garbanzo beans are good in curry

Black bean and cheese burritos with salsa is also easy for camping.

2. Dehydrated veggies if you have access to a dehydrator. nt

3. Spinach canned

It won't taste bad and it's full of vitamins and minerals

4. Good idea

And common in Indian food.

5. I use canned spinach in my "Quarantine Chili-Mac"

1 pound box of macaroni

2 cans Chili - No Beans

I can spinach

Cumin, Chili powder, cayenne and garlic powder to taste.

Nothing to refrigerate before hand - feeds a bunch too.

6. onions can take heat and if you don't over cook will be crispy

I take it this isn't a back packing trip as canned and jarred products are heavy, so if it were me I would be having a good 5 day cooler and taking fresh vegs and frozen meat over canned because I am picky that way.

even dry ice if you can find it.

7. It's a canoe trip

But due to logistics no space for the yeti this trip. Weight isn’t an issue….

8. Potatoes.

They're a perfectly cromulent Indian ingredient (aloo) and as far as shelf-stable, nutrionally-dense product you can't do much better.

PS - I'm assuming you meant tikka masala (which is arguably Scottish but that's for a different day)...although now I do want to try a masala recipe with Marsala in it, I think that would actually be quite delicious...

9. Oh yeah, you got it

Not the one with Marsala wine, capers, lemon and parsley.
