Make Ahead Tips

You can freeze this curry, in which case you shouldn’t add the garam masala and cilantro garnish until you’re ready to serve. Thaw the curry in the fridge and reheat over low heat. Then sprinkle with the garam masala and a little ground cumin, cover, and let sit for a few minutes to let the aroma infuse the curry. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.
