Ingredients

  • Freeze-dried cooked chicken or mixed vegetables
  • Curry powder or curry paste
  • Coconut milk or stock (fresh or rehydrated)
  • Onion (freeze-dried or fresh)
  • Hot water

Freeze-Dried Ingredients

  • • Freeze-dried chicken or vegetables
  • • Freeze-dried onion
  • • Optional curry powder added dry

Fresh Ingredients

  • • Coconut milk or stock
  • • Hot water

Preparation

  1. Start the sauce: warm the coconut milk or stock in a pot.
  2. Add the freeze-dried chicken or vegetables and stir to coat.
  3. Simmer gently until everything rehydrates and the sauce thickens.
  4. Season with curry powder, salt and any fresh garnish, and serve over hot rice.

Rehydration

Starting Water Estimate

All water amounts on this page are starting estimates, not tested ratios. Add liquid gradually, stir or rest, and adjust to the texture you want.

  • The sauce carries the rehydration: keep it loose enough that the pieces are submerged while they soften.
  • Top up with small splashes of hot water or stock if the sauce reduces too far.

Serving

One serving per 70 g dry mix, served with rice.

Storage

Store the dry curry components sealed and dry; rehydrated curry is perishable and should be served hot with leftovers refrigerated.

Storage depends on your packaging, dryness and conditions. See the Storage Center and the packaging guides for honest shelf-life guidance; no shelf-life claim is made on this page.

Notes

The same method works for chicken or vegetable curry; the chicken curry prepared dish also appears in the food database.
