Notes
How to store: Allow the curry to cool to room temperature, then store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
How to reheat: It's very easy to microwave this curry for 5-6 minutes to serve over leftover rice. You can also warm it up in a saucepan or skillet with a splash of extra water as needed.
How to freeze: Place the freezer-safe containers in the freezer for 3-6 months. Thaw the curry in the fridge before reheating.
