Notes

  1. This dish will last up to 3 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. This curry freezes superbly as well! Just store it in a shallow container and be sure it's completely cooled before popping it in. It should keep for up to 3 months if frozen, just reheat on the stove when you're ready to enjoy it.
