Despite the name "Tasty bite" (which comes off to me as a lame attempt to make traditional Indian cuisine sound trendy), I really like their products, especially their "Punjab eggplant". I've routinely taken their stuff sea kayaking, but always assumed that the high oil content would keep them from dehydrating very well. Which ones have you had luck with?

Madras lentils is hands down my favorite, so I've focused on that one with excellent results. Wish I could pull off the palak paneer, but the cheese has stopped me from trying that one.

If you like the Bites of Tastiness, try MTR brand. I love the Butter Paneer. They sell MTR at Greenwood and Shoreline Markets, and they are only $2.50, or $2 on sale.

Have you ever been sitting around a fire and axed a question like this? Do you ever notice how conversations change very quickly? I'm promise you no one is going to continue talking about your conversation all night... Inquiring on an online forum is pretty much going to be the same way...
As for the food part. We were on a trip to Tuck and Robin Lakes when a buddy of mine made us all burritos. He boiled chicken (to heat it up with a spicy sauce) then corn and even rice. We even had avocado. It was pretty good but heavy. I think someone else said this but if you can make it at home in a pot or pan you can probably make it in the BC. It just matters if your up to carrying the weight.
...Vamos?

Yes, of course it is, but I started the thread in search of some new ideas. Trying to keep thread on topic.

Speaking of drying curries... This was something I tried to dry recently and it did not work (too oily). Product is good. Ready to eat right out of the can. It just does not dry well. I believe in sharing my failures as well as what works. Learn from others mistakes.

If you didn't want to eat out of a bag, why not just try dumping it into a bowl?
Our dog Rufus is not so picky. He will eat his food out of a bag or a bowl. However, he is scared of the plastic tupperwares.
Anyway. Bon appetit!

For Indian food, Costco sells Maya Kaimal Tikka Masala sauce that is really good. I'm afraid to try dehydrating it since it has yogurt and cream in it. But the ingredient list is very short. I'm trying to come up with something similar using tomato puree, spices, and powdered milk (Nestle Nido). I figured, once I get the spices proportioned, I could make it without the milk, dehydrated it and grind to a powder, then rehydrate in camp with the milk. No luck getting the spices right so far though. 
I love Indian food. Received an Indian cookbook for Christmas along with a bunch of spices.

Opus, you can get dry yogurt powder. It is very nice in trail cooking! It is made by Frontier Foods - while I buy it in large 1 lb bags you can also find it in 2 ounce bags from www.packitgourmet.com

I've also been into Indian food for a long time. A really good Indian cookbook is "Flavors of India" (or is that "Flavours of India"?).
After years of experimenting with Indian recipes, I've concluded that half of the secret to Indian cooking is to use lots of ghee (clarified butter) and fry your spices in it. (Also, fresh spices help a lot.) Fortunately, the current cycle (or should I say, "one of the current cycles") of health advice is that butter's not nearly as bad for you as it was once portrayed to be -- and certainly better than the margarines that were brought on as a "healthful replacement" for it.
I'll try to post my favorite recipe for chickpea dahl tomorrow.
