This recipe is for 4 servings of curry.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
For a simpler version, make and freeze a batch of my make-ahead curry sauce in advance. When you're ready to eat, thaw and heat a serving of the sauce, then add 1 can drained diced tomatoes, 2 cans of drained and rinsed black-eyed peas, a fresh squeeze of lime juice, a dash of chili powder, and some fresh cilantro.
