Recipe Inspiration & History

The term curry was a British term first used in the 18th century to describe foods cooked with the spices originating from India. When looking for a meat-based compliment to our meatless Lentil Curry Dehydrated Dinner Entree, our chef looked to common variations around the world and selected chicken for this recipe because of it's mild taste and high levels of protein.

Together with Lentil Curry and, later, Lamb Curry, Chicken Curry rounds out the trio of curry dishes on Yamnuska Backcountry Kitchen's menu of dehydrated dinner entrees.
