my personal favourite



anything cooked in a camp oven oro ver the fire, it tastes so much better

[wendaloo]

I make a chicken curry, freeze it and reheat it in the camp oven.

500 grms of chicken breast
1 red onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 carrot diced
1 bunch of bok choy, stems chopped and leaves sliced
3/4 potatoes quartered
3 spoons of red thai curry paste
1 can of coconut cream

Fry off chicken,onion and garlic

add curry paste and stir til it smells hot...
add water to cover and simmer.

after 20 mins add carrots, potatoes and coconut cream and turn down to low simmer. 15 mins later add stalks of bok choy. simmer again for about 30 mins.

add the capsicum and leaves from bok choy. season to taste. and simmer til it thickens.

You can make this a couple of nites before you camping and freeze it. It will thaw on your way to your destination and reheat easily.

I like to serve it with some Rotis or some fresh rolls...
