FAQs: How To Make Paneer
A: Absolutely! At Infusion Village, we recommend preparing the curry sauce up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and when ready to serve, gently reheat the sauce before adding fresh salmon. This actually allows the spices to develop even richer flavors!
A: While we always prefer fresh curry at our restaurant, you can freeze this curry for up to 1 month. However, for best results, freeze only the curry sauce without the salmon. When reheating, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and cook fresh salmon in the warmed sauce.
A: For our Pakistani-style curry, we recommend fresh salmon fillets with the skin removed. Look for bright pink, firm flesh with a fresh sea scent. If fresh isn't available, good-quality frozen salmon fillets work well too – just ensure they're completely thawed before cooking.
