Frequently Asked Questions:
What if I don’t have coriander-cumin powder? The coriander-cumin powder is essentially a 50/50 blend of both spices. So, you can use half the amount of each.
How do you store this curry? Allow the curry to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
How do I re-heat this curry? Pour back into a pan and heat until warm, you may need to add a little water as the gravy will be thicker as it was refrigerated. However, if you’re a fan of thicker gravy just leave it as it is! You can also heat it up in the microwave for a few minutes.
