Directions
Make Ahead
The chicken curry can be refrigerated overnight. Reheat gently, adding a little water if necessary.
Suggested Pairing
A fruity aromatic white with no oak or tannin will harmonize best with the subtle spiciness in the chicken curry, potatoes in spinach sauce and creamy eggplant. Consider a fragrant Torrontés from Argentina or a lighter styled Gewürztraminer from northern California.
