Hi Dai,

Thanks for clarifying that! 

....I just wasn't keen to see you risk poisoning yourself! 

....hope you enjoy your meal on Friday!

Thanks for your comments guys 

Ashes - No, this wasn't from CC's recipe, it was made from my own (as was the Pilau Rice and Naan bread)

Thanks CurryCanuck,

...some very interesting and informative points that you make about the marinating process 

.....I guess I was specifically thinking about the health aspects of storing chicken too long?.......

Hi Dai,

Congratulations Dai, it looks great! 

Just a couple of comments/questions regarding chicken.......

• I'm a little wary of marinating chicken for too long.  I usually marinate chicken overnight, or for 24 hours (in the fridge, of course).  For me, 48 hours is the maximum, provided I'm certain that the chicken is really fresh
• I see that you also plan to keep your chicken tikka masala for 4 days or so before you eat it (presumably in the fridge)?  I'm surprised that you can resist it for so long!    I rarely keep cooked chicken curry for more than a day or so in the fridge.  I prefer to freeze it if I'm not going to eat it immediately, or within a day or so

Maybe I'm being overly cautious with chicken?  What do other people think and do?
