Topic: Leaving curry for a hour after its cooked

[Norman]

A after i cook a bir curry i leave it in the pan for a hour or two and heat it back up before eating it. the taste is much better, i think the spices have longer to infuse or it may be two hours of waiting for a curry lol. does any body else do this

I (like most of us) find the very same thing. I think that the general consensus on this is that your nose has taken such a good pounding while cooking the curry that it needs a while to recover before being able to appreciate the full flavour of the curry. I'm led to believe that a chef never fully appreciates his own curry for this reason.

Cheers
