Notes
Freezing Tips: If you are planning to warm it back up all at once, then you can freeze it in one large container. I like to have thawed and reheated Veggie Curry for lunch, so what I do is I divide it into single servings in 2 cup resealable containers. The trick is to make sure you divide the veggies and broth evenly.
Make sure the veggie curry is cool before you seal the container shut. Then freeze up to three months.
Thaw in the fridge for a day then reheat until simmering hot. Top with cilantro and cashews before serving.
