Q1. Can I freeze this chicken and veggie curry?

Absolutely, This curry freezes like a dream. Just cool it completely first, then pop it in freezer-safe containers (I like using quart-sized bags laid flat). It'll keep beautifully for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently with a splash of water to bring the sauce back to life.

Q2. My curry sauce separated - did I do something wrong?

Don't panic, Coconut milk can sometimes separate if it boils too vigorously. Just give it a good stir - it'll come back together. Next time, keep the heat at a gentle simmer. If it's still being stubborn, whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water to help emulsify it.

Q3. Can I make this vegetarian?

You bet, I make a veggie version all the time for my meatless Mondays. Swap the chicken for extra-firm tofu (pat it dry first), chickpeas, or even cauliflower florets. The cooking time stays about the same - just wait until your veggie protein gets a little golden before adding the curry powder.

Q4. How spicy is this curry?

As written, it's pretty mild - perfect for kids or spice-wimps like my husband. Want more heat? Add a pinch of cayenne with the curry powder, or stir in some sriracha at the end. My favorite trick? Top with sliced jalapeños so everyone can customize their bowl. If you are looking for more heat, you might enjoy reading about what are some good spicy foods .

Q5. What if I don't have curry powder?

No curry powder? No problem. Mix together 1 tsp each of cumin, coriander, and turmeric with 1/2 tsp ginger. It won't be exactly the same, but it'll still taste delicious in a pinch. (Though I highly recommend keeping curry powder in your spice rack - it's a weeknight lifesaver)
