Backpackers Pantry Chana Masala 2024 - 2020 Review by The Good Ride
Ethics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews. We do make money from the “Where To Buy” links, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average camper’s perspective.
How This Review Happened: We spent our precious Good Ride dollars to purchase this product and test it out.
Testers: Steph
Weight: 8.8 oz
Taste: My first few bites of the Chana Masala were really tasty. I thought it had a nice blend of spices, and everything seemed to blend together nicely. Then the chili peppers started to kick in and I had a hard time finishing because it seemed to get hotter with every bite. That being said, I am not someone who eats a lot of spicy food. So I’m rather sensitive to hotter cuisine.
Re-hydrate Time: The directions say 15-20 minutes based on altitude. We were at just under 10,000 ft when we made this. So we waited the full 20 minutes. There were a few chickpeas that could have cooked a bit longer but I was hungry and didn’t want to wait again. But for the most part, everything re-hydrated in 20 minutes at that altitude.
Overall
So if you are cool with spicy food, and like curry style dishes, you might really like the Backpackers Pantry Chana Masala. I thought it had a nice blend of spices and flavors I do think it would be helpful to add an indicator that the dish has some kick to it, so people like myself know to choose a different option. It was a filling vegetarian option for the backcountry. Backpackers Pantry does have taller bags than most other meal companies. So bring your long spork!
