How to reheat curry?
It’s easy! Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have perfectly reheated curry. Reheat curry on the stovetop in a pan or microwave is also an excellent option to heat curries.
I make curries to eat daily. Being a vegetarian, different curries gives color to my food. So I cook vegetable curries for lunch and lentils, chickpeas, or something with paneer for dinner.
I work full time, so I can’t cook two curries daily. So instead, I store three vegetable curries for lunch for a whole week and cook lentils every other day. The microwave is my best friend for reheating curies.
How to reheat in the microwave?
Put the required amount of curry in a microwave-safe container. If you are reheating more than one portion, use a larger container or divide it into smaller ones. Add a splash of water and stir well.
Water is excellent for curries made with onion and tomatoes that don’t have milk or cream. If milk or cream is added to curry, you can add a little cream before heating.
Cover the container with a lid or plate and heat on full power for 30-60 seconds (depending on the quantity). Stop and stir, then heat for 30-60 seconds until piping hot.
If you’re reheating a large quantity of curry, it’s best to reheat it in batches. It will help to ensure that all of the curries are heated evenly.
Always cover the curries in the microwave.
How to reheat curry in the oven?
The oven is the best way to go if you’re reheating a large quantity of curry. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and then transfer the curry to an oven-safe dish. Cover the container with foil or a lid and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated.
The oven is excellent for reheating many food items but not so good for curries. Curries taste good when they are too hot. Unfortunately, the stove cannot give you piping hot curries.
How to reheat curry on the stovetop?
The stovetop is the best option for reheating curry. Place the curry in a pan over low heat and occasionally stir until it’s heated. You may need to add a splash of water or milk to prevent the curry from drying out.
Most of the time, you cannot heat the curries on the stove without adding some liquid.
Once you’ve reheated your curry, be sure to enjoy it immediately. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days but are best when enjoyed fresh.

How to reheat rice and curry?
You can reheat rice and curry together. But I reheat them separately. First, I transfer the required amount of rice to a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle water, cover it, and heat it. Heat the rice for 30 seconds and check if it is done. Stir if required.
For the curry, take another bowl and reheat the curry for around 1 minute. Stir and reheat if required. I usually reheat the curry in the portions required.
