Questions about Chicken curry with rice
How do you stop the chicken drying out in chicken curry with rice?
Cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces and simmer it gently in the sauce rather than frying it hard for a long time. Take it off the heat as soon as the thickest piece reaches 75 °C.
Can you cook chicken curry with rice in one pan?
Yes, if you use boneless chicken and a recipe designed for one-pot cooking. Add rice and measured liquid to the browned chicken and sauce, cover, and simmer gently until the rice is tender and the chicken reaches 75 °C; otherwise, cook the rice separately so it does not turn soggy.
What rice goes best with chicken curry?
Basmati is a classic choice: rinse it until the water runs clearer, then cook it separately so the grains stay fluffy alongside the sauce. Brown rice works too, but needs more cooking time and liquid.
How should you store leftover chicken curry with rice?
Cool it promptly, divide it into shallow containers and refrigerate within two hours. Use within two days, and reheat only once until steaming hot throughout; cool and store rice just as carefully as the curry.

You can freeze it in meal-sized portions once it has cooled promptly. Thaw it in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot throughout; the rice may be softer after thawing, so freezing the curry and rice separately helps preserve their textures.
