Topic: That BIR smell 24hrs later

[fishy]

When ever I cook a curry and throw the leftovers in the bin the next day or morning my kitchen smells like a takeaway, I go to the bin and smell (not taste) the leftovers, Its smells wonderfull that slightly acidic smell that makes my nostril hairs stand on end, the leftovers are almost dry and smells exactly like BIR.

Why is this?

My curries are tasty but missing that great taste iam after, Ive been cooking for 15 years now, happy with results sometimes but disappointed most.

Maybe I need to let my base sauce fester for a few days?

What you think guys
