One of my lab assistants left a big surprise for me in my drawer when I arrived for work on the weekend.
If you like spicy Indian food, you'll like this mix. It's sort of tastes like eating a samosa. I think it'll be a nice on the trail.

Pretty similar anyways. I can't remember who made that stuff, I bought it in one of the small east indian shops at upper Main st.
Careful with this dangerous treat, you will eat the whole bag in one day if you get carried away. |

| Can be found at your local I.G.A. in the specialties section. I have bought it at the I.G.A. next to Newport Village. |

Like what Hiker said you can find it in the "Ethnic" section (whatever that means)of most grocery stores. I find that Stupid Store has the biggest selection of 'Ethnic'(?) foods.
Wasabe Peas are also a tasty treat.
I will go into an asian grocery to find goodies. It will usually have a variety of interesting treats. |

| I've had simmilar ones but they are japanese i can't remeber what they are called but they are peanuts that are covered in this sweet n salty n spicy crust OH MAN they are addictive and shure have a lot of callories in fats. Excellent for winter hiking. Go to a TNT market or something of the sort. I will pay you back if you don't like them. (lol not realy got a student loan) But yea try em!!! |

Bombay Mix Recipe Ingredients:
Makes about 600g (approx 1lb 6oz)
2-3 oz (50-75g) Chana dhal(yellow split peas)or moong dhal (split mung beans)
2-3 oz (50-75g) Green lentils
6 oz (175g) Gram flour (Fried noodles)
2 oz (50g) Shelled Pistachio nuts
1½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp Ghee
Method:
Wash the lentils / dhal and then leave to soak for a good hour in a bowl of cold water.
Meanwhile prepare the noodles as follows.
Seive the gram flour into a bowl and add ½ tsp chilli powder, ½ tsp of salt, all of the cumin and coriander. mix well.
Dribble in 1 tsp of vegetable oil and then gradually add 4 tbsps of cold water.
Mix to a stiff paste and knead well 3-4 minutes. (Do not be tempted to add more water this is meant to be a stiff paste)
Now for the secret of those little skinny noodles. Ideally use a thing called a sev maker which is a container for the dough with a plate with holes at one end and a screw attachment at the other. Yep I haven't got one either! Don't panic. The next best thing is a potato ricer as shown.
Heat the oil over a medium flame ( test it with a small bit of dough first) The press the dough out of the finest plate in your potato ricer into the hot oil.
Separate gently whilst the noodles fry to a light brown colour (do not burn).
Drain and allow to cool.
Whilst the noodles are cooling cook the lentils as follows.
Firstly drain them off and pat them dry on kitchen paper. Heat 2tbsps of ghee in a wok or frying pan and fry gently for 3 minutes over a medium flame.
Add the remaining tsp of chilli powder, the turmeric and the pistachios. Mix well and toast for another minute of so.
Allow to cool completely before adding to the noodles. Sprinkle on the remaining ½ tsp of salt and the 1tbsp of sugar. Toss well. |

I've been into the ethnic foods on the trails a bit as of late too. Yes, wasabi peas are great on the trail! I was also looking at a spicy peanut/ pea mixture as well...yum yum!
