## Description

We can’t transport you to the Himalayas, but the adventurous spirit of those iconic peaks certainly inspired this dish. Our chef created this Kathmandu curry to warm souls and nourish active bodies, combining lentils, brown rice, potatoes, peas, and carrots to create one seriously delicious dish that’s both vegan and gluten free. Preparing it couldn’t be easier, either. Just add boiling water to the pouch, stir well, seal, and let sit for 15-20 minutes. After one last stir it’s time to chow down.

Review: As a lover of curry and Southeast Asian food, I was thrilled to see this healthy vegetarian option. I personally found it to be mildly spiced and not too salty. I love it so much that I will be using it for lunch at work and light meals/snacks in the cold weather as well as starting an desertcart subscription so I can get it every month!
Review: 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!

I did not realize that this was packaged in a can that would need a can opener, that is no issue since I always have a can opener on hand. It makes sense how it can last 25 years on the shelf. The manufacture date is from this year which is reassuring.
