Curry Sauce FAQ
Cooking with curry sauce can be a great way to add flavor and depth to a dish. Some common mistakes people make when using this ingredient include adding too much at once, resulting in an overpowering flavor, not simmering the sauce long enough to allow flavors to develop, or using a sauce that doesn't complement the other ingredients in the dish. It's important to balance the curry sauce with the rest of your dish, and pairing it with simple ingredients often brings out the best results. To get the most out of your curry sauce, try sautéing your meat or vegetables before adding the sauce, this will seal in the flavors and make your dish even more delicious. Don't rush the cooking process, as the curry sauce needs enough time to simmer and infuse the dish with its rich flavors. For a bit of a twist, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or a splash of coconut milk to balance out the spice and add an extra dimension of flavor to your curry. Or, try grating some fresh ginger into your dish for some added zing. In addition, curry sauce can be used as a marinade for meats or veggies for a flavor punch.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does curry sauce expire?
An unopened bottle or jar of curry sauce can last for about 1-2 years past the printed date, when stored in a cool, dark place. Once the sauce is opened, it's best to use it within 1-2 weeks if stored in the refrigerator. As for homemade curry sauce, it will generally last for about 4-5 days in the fridge. If you decide to freeze the sauce for later use, it can last up to 2-3 months.
How do you tell if curry sauce is bad?
For spoilt curry sauce, the first thing to notice is the appearance. It might develop a slimy or thick texture, or change from its natural color. Also, a quick whiff can be a telltale sign. If it has a sour, foul or off smell, it's time to toss it. When in doubt, it's better to be safe and discard it, rather than risking food poisoning.
Tips for storing curry sauce to extend shelf life
• Always store curry sauce in a cool, dark place until opening. A pantry or cupboard can be ideal. • Once opened, make sure to refrigerate the curry sauce. • Always seal the lid tightly before storing the curry sauce. This helps to ensure it maintains its freshness and prevents any bacterial growth. • Consider portioning the sauce out in smaller containers if you don't think you'll be able to use it all within a week. This way, you can extend its shelf life and reduce waste. • If you want to freeze the sauce, pour it into airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. To defrost, simply leave it in the fridge overnight. You can also thaw it quickly by putting the container in a bowl of cold water.
