Expedition Foods says

Created in the kitchen with delightful vegetables consisting of onions, peas, green beans, cauliflower, sweetcorn and bell peppers, and cooked in a traditional tikka masala curry sauce, this favourite vegetarian recipe contains the perfect combination of spices, served alongside exquisite white rice. The Vegetable Tikka with Rice dish serves as a hearty meal away from home whether you are exploring India or enjoying a weekend camping trip to the Lake District. Just add hot water, stir and wait five minutes. You won't believe a meal could taste this good.

Preparation: Remove the Oxygen Absorber (Sachet) from inside the pouch. (The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic). Add boiling water to just above line 5 (480ml), stir the contents and then close the bag and wait 5-8 minutes for the food to re-hydrate.

Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer.

Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.

6/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - It says wait 8minutes for rehydration, some of the peas were still hard after 10 minutes. Very spicy, I like spicy food but this was hot. Although it was very spicy it didn't have much depth of flavour.
