Hi Lindsey, Could you tell me if you think the Beef Dopiaza would freeze? Thanks.

Hello,

Yes you can freeze this dish (without the lime and coriander).

Freeze in a ridged container or foil container as soon as it’s cold on the day that it is made.

It can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.

Defrost overnight in the fridge. Heat until piping hot in a casserole, covered on the stove or in the oved (about 180C [160 fan] for about 35 minutes).

Stir it the lime juice and fresh chopped coriander and serve with freshly made coriander chutney. 

Kind regards

Lindsey
