the best spiced rice, lentils and dried veg dish

HI
There is this stuff made by MTR from India called puliogari ( spelling ?) powder. You can get it at most Indian grocery shops.
It is tamarind powder and Indian spices all mixed together with peanuts etc. You add a bit to some cooking oil in a pan on low heat and heat it up and mix it up for a minute or so.
Then you add it to the main dish.
The main dish consists of basmati rice and orange lentils ( masoor ki daal ) cooked with dehydrated peas and dried fried shalots and dried mushrooms. The last two items are easily found at Vietnamese grocery stores in Urban Melb. or Sydney. Once this is all boiled up together and cooked you add the fried spice mix and stir it all into together.It is the best trekking dinner!
I can live on this night after night on the trail !

Thanks paidal_chalne_vala,
I'll see if i can track some down & give it a try....there's plenty of Indian,
asian & islander supermarkets in my neck of the woods.
Variety out in the bush is always a good thing. :wink:
Mountain views are good for my soul...& getting to them is good for my waistline !

Yum that looks good, I may have to try some at home first (just to get the recipe right).

You will never eat overpriced 'spaceman food' ever again on a trek.

Give this a go while you are at it too.......

Sakthi Lemon Rice Powder

A quick and tasty spice mix used to make an authentic South Indian Lemon Rice dish.
This spice mix is comprised of bengal gram dal, black gram dal, salt below 30%, lemon powder, chili, sugar, asafoetida, mustard, fenugreek, turmeric, curry leaf and peanut oil.

Add to hot, cooked rice and enjoy!

Try this stuff too. Just stir it into rice .It comes in a plastic jar so It will not shatter while you are trekking.

Most Tamil/South Indian grocery shops should stock it. I got my supply from MKS spices and things in Preston, Northern Melbourne.
