Topic: A thought on Indiian Meals

[Muttley]

Sometimes I like to have a very simple meal of rice and one dish, but more often I like to have a variety of differnet dishes, particularly vegetables.

It's obviously impractical to cook 5 or six dihes just for one or two people, so the technique I use now is to make a large batch of each dish and freeze portions in those non-stick 'muffin' tins you can buy (they are a little deeper than the 'fairy cake' ones.

Once the food is frozen, you can decant it into plasitc freezer bags, either having a bag for each dish, or making up meals by adding a 'lump' of each dish to a bag.

Then, when you fancy 'an Indian', you just place them around the edge of a plate and microwave. Add rice in the middle, and you have a fairly complex meal in around 15 mins.

Since no curry I have ever tried has been damaged by freezing, this is an excellent way to enjoy really good food even when you have little time for preparation.

Hello all, I'm new! I'd just like to say I love this site and really appreciate the efforts made. Obviously I am a curryholic too or I wouldn't be here. ? I can't wait to start trying the gravy recipes and contributing some (hopefully) helpful input.

Anyway Muttley that's a really good idea and I must give it a go sometime. However you've also reminded me my freezer needs defrosting so badly I can't even open the door!? :-[? Oh well, that's my afternoon sorted then!
