In reply to Christel Mueller. I think it is by weight...do you have a kitchen scale?

Question: how would you modify this to use dehydrated zucchini? #gottacutweight
🙂 Thanks!

BTW – love your cookbook – panang curry is a new trip staple!

How much is two ounces of dried coconut milk? This recipe sounds great!

[…] was also our fancy dinner night and we had coconut couscous lentil stew, it was delicious, even though I added a little too much water to the lentil part of it. We cook up […]

In reply to Shannon. Thanks for the detailed feedback! It was indeed a bit thick when I made it, but adding more water or broth will thin it out if you prefer it more soupy. Good suggestion to keep the spicy stuff separate. That way you can add it towards the end and adjust the recipe based on personal taste. I also revised the recipe, as the 1/4 tablespoon, should be teaspoon instead! Keep up the camp cooking!

(whoops, never mind about the ginger comment – that was a different recipe!)

I was really excited about this recipe, which looked both yummy and nutritious (a lot of vegetarian trail recipes seem too light on protein). On the trail, though, we found this came out way too spicy – I measured carefully, so I guess my cayenne was a lot stronger than yours! We enjoy hot and spicy foods, but in this case, the heat overwhelmed the coconut and all the other spices. I’d modify by bringing chili flakes separate from the other spices so that each person can add them to taste. I’d also add more water as the texture was a bit gloppy. I substituted dried ginger (1 tsp) for fresh, but I think that was a mistake – I’d go with fresh next time and make this the 1st or 2nd night of the trip.
