Saving some for later?
The curry can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Divide it into containers, cool completely, seal and store. If freezing, defrost the curry overnight before reheating. It can be warmed in a microwave till piping hot, or tipped into a pan on a medium heat and reheated with a splash of stock or water till piping hot all the way through. - Tip
That’ll Do Ricely
This creamy curry makes a hearty winter meal for 6, but a few extras on the table can make it go even further. Try serving it with a side of fruity spiced turmeric and pomegranate rice, and a warm plate of fluffy naan to mop up.
