Make-Ahead Recipes

Indian food lends itself to making dishes ahead. Especially meat or poultry curries even benefit from an overnight rest in the refrigerator. The added time allows the spices to mix and mingle and mellow together for an even better dish. Besides curries, bread can be frozen and heated just when needed. Examples are an easy yeasted naan recipe or one of my favorite curries, coconut lamb curry (Madras-style).
