Notes

Storage and Reheating

Let the vegetable curry cool completely before storing the leftovers in an airtight container and keeping them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze smaller curry portions in freezer-safe bags or containers for 2-3 months.

Gently reheat portions on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If needed, add water or broth to help loosen the sauce, then a squeeze of lime juice to revive the flavors.
