Topic: How do you reheat your curry?

[bodmass]

I'm making UBs Pathia today in order to eat it with friends tomorrow night.

What reheating method would you recommend.  Can a curry survive being reheated on the hob without burning elements or tarnishing the taste? Do you just nuke it (as I would normally do with a takeaway), Pop it in the oven for 15mins @ 175c?

Or should it not matter really if it's cooked right in the first place?  ;D

Hey Bodmass,

I usually find my curry congeals a little once cool. What I tend to do is add a little base to my curry pan and heat it up then put the curry in and heat until pipping hot throughout. I find if you just nuke it, the curry is still quite dry.

Cheers, BB.

Thanks for that BB.

And sorry - I know I should have been posting in the beginners section.

I add some water and then microwave..... Once hot I fire onto a sizzling hot iron balti dish.

Microwave for me as well, I usually make my curry's in advance and then heat up when required.

If there is meat in the curry it must of course be thoroughly heated through again. If you're using prawns or king prawns I'd leave these out of the original curry and add when you reheat the curry sauce. They tend to shrivel up to nothingness, if they're cooked twice. Perhaps the addition of a little water if the curry sauce is too dry.
