Suitable for batch cooking

Cool the curry promptly, transfer it to covered containers and refrigerate within 2 hours. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months. Leave space in each container for expansion and label with the date.

Reheat a refrigerated portion in a saucepan over a medium heat or in the microwave until piping hot throughout, stirring occasionally. Defrosted portions should also be reheated until thoroughly hot, with no cold spots. Only reheat once.

Blend leftover curry until smooth for a thick, soup-style meal, or divide it into smaller portions for another complete meal.
