Storing and Reheating
Store leftover beef curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. In airtight, freezer-safe containers, the curry can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw any frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Reheat either in the microwave or in a Dutch oven placed over medium-low heat.
The spices
Generally speaking, curry powder and curry paste include a mixture of spices. The ingredients in the curry seasoning can affect the overall color of the dish itself. While I find most Asian curries in paste form and Indian in powder form. See below for links to try!

Homemade Curry Powder, Madras Curry Powder (Medium) and my Vindaloo Curry Powder (Hot).
Asian Curry Pastes
Red curry – Usually made with red chiles. The variety of chili pepper varies by region. For example, I use birdseye chiles to make Thai red curry paste. Yellow curry– Turmeric is the spice that gives a glorious golden hue to the majority of yellow curries. It’s what I use in my recipe for Thai yellow curry paste. Green curry – Green chiles are what make green curry green. Again, the variety of chiles will vary based on if it’s an Indian or Asian recipe. Two types of green chiles are in this Thai green curry paste.
While most Indian curry recipes are tomato based, many Asian curries are coconut based. Love this recipe? Share it with the world on Pinterest.
